PHI2008 will be held September 18-19, 2008 in Seattle, WA. This meeting builds
on the success of the 1st international PHI conference in September last year
at which participants agreed to move forward with organizing the Global
Partners in Public Health Informatics -- a partnership of individuals,
organizations and research centers dedicated to defining and developing a
framework for addressing strategic public health information issues and
requirements to drive successful global population health interventions.
Through plenary sessions, panel and break-out discussions, and poster sessions
PHI2008 will cover a wide scope of global public health informatics topics and
will showcase state-of-the-art public health informatics research, development,
and applications, with an emphasis on sustainable development strategies and
sharing information technologies, data and knowledge. PHI2008 invitees and
speakers, drawn from a variety of global health settings, organizations, and
institutions, will cover topics such as:
* E-health records for improved public health practice
* Situational awareness and surveillance
* Scalable information and communications technology approaches for
improving population health
* Decision support and knowledge management
* Information policy and human capacity building
PHI2008 is open to practitioners, academics, scientists, managers, students,
and decision makers from the various disciplines, industries, governmental
institutions, international and intergovernmental organizations, agencies and
networks that are concerned with improving the public's health on the local,
national and global levels through the application of information and
communications technologies.
