Thanks for the suggestion, Stephen. I have added as suggested but
include the word "open" to "standards" as in Objective 4. These
objectives and tentative programme is in our web-portal. The programme
is tentative and to be discussed at the Openhealth list as well. I will
post this discussion to the Openhealth list to see if the FOSS community
wish to add further to this. The Conference programme can be found here:
http://oshca.org/conference/conf2007/conf2007prog
Conference Objectives:
1. Share and review current FOSS applications in healthcare
2. Share and review current technologies in healthcare software
3. Conceptualise and define OSHCA's role in managing FOSS
collaborative services
4. Explore the role of open standards in facilitating interoperable
health information communication
5. Promote OSHCA and its activities particularly to IT and healthcare
communities in ASEAN/Asia-Pacific region
6. Promote the advantages of using FOSS applications to managers of
healthcare facilities in public and private sectors in the
ASEAN/Asia-Pacific region.
For the information of the FOSS community, APAMI stands for Asia-Pacific
Association for Medical Informatics, which is an affiliate of IMIA. I
believe Peter Murray is at the Openhealth list and would be happy to get
his views on the OSHCA conference. Perhaps I should add here that
Objective 3 is important to OSHCA in preparation and anticipation of the
IDRC's Pan Asia eHealth Research Network Programme 2006-2011. OSI's
information programme has special interests for funding FOSS projects
around open standards.
Rgds,
Molly
