Already somewhat older, published in May 2011, but still a very relavant publication. The
eHealth Benchmarking III Final Report
from the EuropeanUnion.
This study provides an overview of how Europe's acute hospitals use eHealth. It offers empirical evidence from hospital's Chief Information Officers and it gives a sense of the attitudes and motivations of Medical Directors.
It is interesting to compare the status of different countries and to assess where your own hospital IT level is at compared to the National and International average. The report clearly shows a large potential for improvement and investment in Medical Imaging Informatics in the European Union.
Even going through the report quickly only scanning the graphs (there's plenty of them) is very insightfull.
This blog provides information on conferences and novelties in the area of Medical Imaging Informatics (MII). MII has a broad scope ranging from the Radiology Information System and Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) to Advanced Visualization and Computer Aided Diagnosis (CAD). To find new opportunities in healthcare we need to look at informatics solutions in other areas to apply them into the medical field to achieve higher level healthcare at lower costs.
