Medinfo 2010 South Africa 12-15th September

post from Hodges' Model: Welcome to the QUAD on 28 August 2009 02:45:00 PM. © Hodges' Model: Welcome to the QUAD

Cape Town, South Africa will host the 13th International Congress on Medical Informatics from the 12 - 15 of September 2010.

This will be the first time MEDINFO is held in Africa. It promises to boost exposure to grassroots healthcare delivery and the underpinning health information systems. This will open the door to new academic partnerships into the future and help to nurture a new breed of health informaticians.*

Conference Theme

Partnerships for effective e-Health solutions

Innovative collaborations promote solutions to health challenges

The theme for the International Medical Informatics Association?s (IMIA) 13th World Congress on Medical Informatics, Medinfo 2010 is Partnerships for effective e-Health solutions with a particular focus on how innovative collaborations can promote sustainable solutions to health challenges. It is well recognised that information and communication technologies have enormous potential for improving the health and lives of individuals. Innovative and effective change using such technologies is reliant upon people working together in partnerships to create innovative and effective solutions to problems with particular regard to contextual and environmental factors.

As Medinfo 2010 brings together the health informatics community from across the globe we are seeking to focus on how we can work together and share our experiences and knowledge to promote sustainable solutions to the challenges presenting to us all. This will be an historical event as Medinfo 2010 is hosted in Africa for the first time.

Implementing Best Practices (IBP) Knowledge Gateway GANM
& The Conference Company and the Medinfo2010 website.

Africa! While I have linked to many, I have never attended an International informatics event. This one sounds really special being in Africa.
*I would love to pass over the baton that is Hodges' model and also discover what other conceptual frameworks may be out there....

Norwood -- Experts in the treatment of multiple sclerosis will provide insight into the complex neurological and autoimmune disease in a six-part lecture series at Norwood Hospital.

"This is an opportunity for us to give the public some new information on therapies and on symptom management, and updates of symptom therapy," said Dr. Salvatore Napoli, neurologist and medical director of the hospital's Multiple Sclerosis Center.

Multiple sclerosis is a chronic illness that affects the brain and spinal cord, resulting in loss of muscle control, vision, balance and sensation. More than 400,000 Americans have MS, including as many as 1,300 Norfolk County residents, according to the New England Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.

MS Related: Generic versions of biologic
medications are coming

Aug 28, 2009, 4:57 p.m. ESTCompanies most likely to produce biogenerics
By Val Brickates Kennedy, MarketWatch

BOSTON (MarketWatch) -- The days of market exclusivity could soon come to an end for the biotech industry if Congress moves forward with plans to finally allow generic biologics on the U.S. market.
