"eHealth and patient safety -
identifying research challenges"

Expert Workshop (by invitation only)

Tuesday, October 10, 2006, 13:00 - 15:30h
Geneva Palexpo, Room C, Geneva, Switzerland

New and emerging ICTs hold considerable potential to increase patient safety across the whole health value system including clinical research, disease prevention, medical interventions and risk prediction, training & education as well as public health. The objectives of this workshop were to scope the "ICT for patient safety and risk management domain" and to identify true research challenges that could be tackled by national and international research programmes.
In this workshop we intended to consider topics beyond medical errors and adverse events, and to look in a holistic view at newly emerging opportunities to preserve health and improve the quality of acute and longer-term care, also taking into account biomedical and other research results, supported by ICT-based solutions.

The focus was on research challenges only.
