Embassy)
Setting
the scene
Chair: Professor
Ewart Carson, City University, London
Overall
Aim: To provide a forum in which to review
English and Italian approaches to e-Health organisation and delivery in
order to:
- facilitate
knowledge transfer between two leading European national healthcare
providers;
- share in the
experiences of eHealth experts from industrial, clinical, policy-making
and research perspectives;
- learn
lessons with respect to best practice from two countries;
- identify and
influence directions for future eHealth initiatives; and
- explore opportunities for UK/Italian technological
collaboration

Q&A
e-Prescribing: a
pharmaceutical perspective
Chair: Dr
Michelangelo Campanella, UCL, London
Addressing
the following issues:
- What will be the impact of
e-Prescribing on the liabilities of healthcare service providers in
relation to patient safety (e.g. medication errors)?
- Interoperable ePrescribing
has
the potential to enhance the efficiency of healthcare
delivery. What are the technological challenges
involved and how will they be overcome if such efficiency gains are to
be realised?

Managing the patient: an e-Health
perspective
Chair:
John Chelsom, CSW Group, UK
Addressing the following issues:
- How will the
manner in which electronic services (e.g. electronic records) are being
rolled out (centralised versus distributed; “big bang solution versus
incremental approach) impact on the ability of industry to
ensure e-Health provision benefits from leading edge
technologies?
- The
introduction of e-Health services to support clinical investigations
(e.g. electronic records) raises new challenges regarding the security
and privacy of patient data and information. How are these challenges
to be
met in such a way as to satisfy very real patient concerns?
- How will
health service managers respond to the changes in human resource needs
brought about by the introduction of e-Health services (e.g. changes
associated
with the reporting on imaging investigations)?

Discussion
The management environment: regional,
national and international dimensions
Chair:
Professor Denis Protti, City University, London
Addressing the
following issues:
- The
introduction of new e-Health services aimed at enhancing the
organisation and operation of patient services (e.g. Choose and Book in
England) has considerable implications for the provision of human
resources in many of the clinical and allied professions (e.g. in
general practice to implement the service and in hospitals to meet
patient choice and expectations). How will these changes
in resource needs be managed?
- What are the
implications of the introduction of new e-Health services upon the
devolution of the organisation and management of health services (e.g.
the
“postcode lottery”)?
Information
needs to be at the heart the management environment, is there a better
way of thinking about how to manage it; before
it manages you.
