What you'll learn
During two days, top regional experts will share their ideas, with the aim of promoting the informatization of Healthcare Delivery (EHR, Electronic Prescriptions, Telemedicine, Artificial Intelligence), the interchange of Health Data and the use of standards, apart from Health IT education in the region.
Moderated by HIMSS Advisor for Latin America Dr. Mariano Groiso, this series of Digital Summits and Webinars will travel around Latin America and engage health and technology experts to discuss how the different countries of the Region are advancing their Health Digital Agendas.
Learning points:
- Regional EHRs. What are the most relevant projects in the region? What are the plans for the future? Has COVID-19 advanced these plans
- Telemedicine. What are the most relevant projects in the region? Is this integrated into EHRs? Has COVID-19 advanced these plans?
- Innovation in Health? What Artificial Intelligence projects are most relevant in the region? What opportunities does COVID-19 give us in the context of Digital Health? Which are the regional trends that can be accelerated more efficiently in this context?
