SCOPE
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
--
iSHIMR 2005 aims to bring together people who are carrying out, or are
interested in, research in the general area of health information
management and health informatics technology, and to provide a forum for the
presentation and discussion of their research activities. ISHIMR 2005 is a
response to the challenge of utilising the enormous potential of modern
information technology in information systems, which benefit healthcare
professionals, managers, planners, patients and the public. The
multi-disciplinary field of Healthcare is a massive generator and user of
information. Effective management and exploitation of this critical resource
is fundamental to the effectiveness of all groups and individuals in this
field, at strategic, management and operational levels. We therefore
welcomepaper submissions and delegates from the international healthcare
community, particularly those with teaching/research responsibilitiesin
health information managementand health informatics with
clinicalresponsibilities, and those involved in provision of information
services.
