2nd European Connected Health Leadership Summit, June15-16, 2010

With a new decade, will we see the start of change and "connected health" deliver on its promise? Are we ready to move beyond the hype and implement more than pilots? As the world begins to embrace the idea that health and wellness can be improved and costs can be reduced through the application of remote monitoring technologies, how will you get started?

This year's ECH Leadership Summit theme is "Engagement - How do you make it happen!"
Attend the Summit and learn:

• What are the technologies? Are they ready yet?
• How should I prepare my organization? Where do we start?
• Who do I need to involve and where do I turn for help?
• What are the "Do's & Don'ts" when introducing technologies?
• How do we stop making the same mistakes and remove the barriers to scaled deployments?

These are but some of the questions that the ECH Leadership Summit will help you answer. This will be an international gathering of key practitioners, thought leaders and industry leaders from the field of Connected Health. The ECH Leadership Summit promises a compelling programme, addressing real issues experienced by the many stakeholders and end users.

The ECH Leadership Summit offers a full range of activities including key note speakers, leadership panels with Q&A, debates, presentations and work streams- where you’ll work in smaller groups, with experienced professionals - as well as time for networking and speaking one-on-one with notable industry and academic leaders. There will also be a two day Connected Health Exhibition where vendors will be prepared to provide hands on experience with the technologies of today as well as some new ones that will soon be available.

Sistem informaţional pentru Asistenţa Medicală Primară: MS şi CNAM sunt interesaţi de progres şi funcţionalitate

Proiectul Uniunii Europene "Suport pentru reforma sănătăţii. Fortificarea asistenţei medicale primare în Moldova" ("Proiect") a definit sistemul informaţional pentru Asistenţa Medicală Primară - Medex 2.0, implementat la nivel pilot în Asociaţia Medicală Teritorială „Centru" din Chişinău. Versiunea nouă a sistemului informaţional include funcţii ce ţin de fluxul de pacienţi, datele medicale, datele statistice şi alte aspecte ale asistenţei medicale primare. În data de 02 martie 2010, Viceministrul Sănătăţii, Dl Octavian Gramă, Directorul General al Companiei Naţionale de Asigurări în Medicină (CNAM), Dl Mircea Buga şi Directorul interimar, Direcţia Sănătăţii Consiliului Municipal Chişinău, Dna Luminiţa Suveică au întreprins o vizită la AMT „Centru" pentru a se interesa atât de funcţionalitatea cât şi de progresul obţinut în realizarea sistemului informaţional pilotat în cadrul AMT „Centru". Dna Adela Glavan, Directorul AMT „Centru", a efectuat o scurtă prezentare a statutului actual al sistemului informaţional Medex 2.0.

Pe parcursul ultimelor luni, proiectul şi AMT „Centru" au perfecţionat versiunea veche a sistemului informaţional. Ultimul pas a constituit migrarea cu succes a datelor din versiunea Medex 1.0 în versiunea Medex 2.0, pus în exploatare la nivel experimental din 22 februarie 2010. Conform Memorandumului de colaborare semnat între Proiect, MS şi AMT Centru, personalul AMT „Centru" participă activ la perfecţionarea sistemului prin identificarea cerinţelor faţă de funcţionalitatea sistemului, la testare şi pilotare.

După o pilotare de succes la AMT „Centru", noua versiune Medex ("Medex 2") poate fi replicată în alte AMT-uri şi în centrele de sănătate la nivel raional. De asemenea, acest sistem informaţional poate fi utilizat pe viitor la nivel naţional, atunci când infrastructura TI va permite acest fapt. Specialiştii TI locali instruiţi în instruirea utilizatorilor, menţinerea sistemului şi administrarea bazelor de date servesc drept bază pentru durabilitate şi ca resurse pentru replicarea ulterioară a sistemului elaborat.

Proiectul Suport pentru reforma sănătăţii. Fortificarea asistenţei medicale primare în Moldova este finanţat de Uniunea Europeană şi implementat de Consorţiul ICON / BBI / UNICON / IRIS, pe o durată de 2 ani (septembrie 2008 - august 2010) şi cu un buget de 1,2 mln EURO (ca. 21 mln lei MD). Beneficiarul proiectului este Ministerul Sănătăţii.
