Course on principles of health interoperability
2 July 2009
Abies is running a three-day course on Principles of Health
Interoperability HL7 and SNOMED at the prize-winning Sheepdrove Eco
Conference Centre in Lambourn, Berkshire on 8-10 September 2009.
This course is based on Tim Benson's forthcoming book, also titled
Principles of Health Interoperability HL7 and SNOMED which will be
published by Springer in November 2009.
The best way to tame healthcare costs is to make information
available when and where it is needed and hence improve safety,
efficiency and effectiveness.
Interoperability between healthcare computer systems depends on us
developing, implementing and deploying appropriate standards, such as
HL7 and SNOMED CT, working together as a tightly specified language.
The documentation of HL7 and SNOMED runs to tens of thousands of
pages and creates a steep learning curve and barrier to entry.
Principles of Health Interoperability HL7 and SNOMED provides a clear
introduction to these standards, explaining the core principles for the
health IT professional, student, clinician and healthcare manager.
