Call for Abstracts: The First Annual Workshop on Health IT and Economics (WHITE) 2010
Location: Washington, DC
Dates: October, 2010
Abstract submission deadline: Aug 10, 2010
WHITE is a health information technology (IT) summit that gathers prominent scholars in a multidisciplinary setting. Despite IT’s potential to transform healthcare delivery, significant challenges remain regarding design, implementation, utilization, and evaluation. These issues are actively explored in fields as diverse as medical informatics, computer science, public health, business, and economics. Each field brings a unique perspective and insights; collectively, these disciplines approaches are complementary.
This workshop will build the foundation for a multidisciplinary health IT research community. Furthermore, WHITE will stimulate new ideas with both policy and business implications. Synergies from interdisciplinary integrated will deepen our understanding of health IT design and resultant impact. Finally, this forum will facilitate feedback and collaboration between academia, government, and industry.
