Abstract
The recently released
inaugural report of the Health Council of Canada encourages
accelerated change for Canada's healthcare system. In today s health care
environment, there is no doubt that eHealth is a critical factor to
make this change happen, and the real question: how do you put eHealth
at the top of the agenda and link its benefits with public policy
objectives? Matthew Anderson, Chief Information Officer for the SIMS
Partnership and eHealth Lead for the Toronto Central LHIN, will
explore the link between information technology and solving systemic
problems. He will also share case studies on internal and external
projects, as well as key success factors.
