How Information Technology is starting to transform healthcare delivery around the world, some of the challenges ahead（Win, Lose or Draw: Can Information Technology Enable the Transformation of Healthcare Delivery on a Global Basis?）（9月27日下午，主会场）
Over the past twenty years information and communications (ICT) technologies have enabled the transformation of many industries and have had a profound effect on the experience of the end user. The healthcare enterprise has been the exception to this global trend. Adoption of ICT in healthcare remains relatively low and the industry is full of stories of well intentioned projects that have failed. This presentation will examine some of the current global trends in healthcare delivery from an ICT perspective, and discuss some hopeful signs of progress, some new technology insights and some of the still unsolved challenges.
