iSHIMR06: 11th International Symposium for Health Information Management Research

This conference with the theme: "Advancing Health Information Management and Health Informatics: Issues, Strategies and Tools" will be held 14-16 July 2006 in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
A call for papers for this conference is currently available for research which meets the scope:
"iSHIMR 2006 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 2006 is a response to identifying opportunities and challenges regarding the application of modern information management and informatics technology to provide technology-mediated solutions to healthcare practice and delivery issues faced by all stakeholders--i.e. healthcare professionals, managers, planners, patients and the public. The multi-disciplinary field of healthcare is a massive generator and user of information and knowledge. 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 welcome paper submissions and delegates from the international healthcare community, particularly those with teaching/research responsibilities in health information management and health informatics, with clinical responsibilities, and those involved in provision of information and knowledge services."
