Brazil's Experience at European Medical Informatics Conference

The city of Istanbul, Turkey, hosted the 25th European Medical Informatics Conference (MIE 2014) in early September, organized by the European Federation for Medical Informatics and the Turkish Association of Medical Informatics. The event aims to bring together representatives from academia, industry, and governments to discuss the possibilities and challenges involved in using informatics for healthcare assistance.

The Scientific Coordinator of the ICT Health Survey, Heimar Marin, and the Research Coordinator of the Regional Center for Studies on the Development of the Information Society (Cetic.br), Fábio Senne, presented the paper 'ICT Health 2013: Infrastructure and Adoption by Healthcare Providers in Brazil' during the 'Intelligent Data Analysis' session.

The work, authored by Prof. Dr. Heimar F. Marin (Unifesp), Alexandre Barbosa (Cetic.br), and Fábio Senne (Cetic.br), discusses the main results of the ICT Health 2013 Survey, providing an overview of the access and use of ICTs by public and private establishments in Brazil.

The survey was based on the model proposed by the OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) for measuring ICTs in health establishments. The publication, released in early 2014, featured a debate with experts in the field and can be viewed here.
