Call for Participation

We invite you to participate in “IT in Health Care: Socio-technical Approaches, Fourth International Conference,” June 23-24, 2010, in Aalborg, Denmark.

Building on the successes of the first three ITHC conferences in Rotterdam, The Netherlands (2001), Portland, Oregon, USA (2004), and Sydney, Australia (2007), ITHC 2010 will again focus on the complex interaction of the social and technical aspects of information system design, implementation, and evolution in health care.

The conference is hosted by the Virtual Centre for Health Informatics at Aalborg University.

The aim of the conference is to bring together investigators from diverse fields concerned with the interaction and interdependence of information technologies and the social and work contexts within which they are deployed. 

The conference will be of modest size to promote informal exchange among participants, in addition to the plenary speakers and formal paper presentations that are scheduled.

The theme for the Aalborg conference is “Designing and Implementing Health IT: from safe systems to patient safety”. See more on call for papers.
