Outline: This full day workshop will focus on the use
of the Web and IP-based services in the health sector. Run in
conjunction with the Centre for Health Informatics at Curtin
University of Technology (http://chi.curtin.edu.au ), the workshop
is aimed at those either using WWW technologies to support health
service delivery, or those practitioners, educators and technicians
interested in this rapidly expanding field.
The workshop content is planned to provide a showcase of innovative
uses of Web-based technologies in the region, where we can discuss
what works, what doesn't and what is needed to further rollout
these technologies to improve health outcomes.
It is anticipated that the day will conclude with a plenary
session focusing on the HealthConnect program and the contemporary
issues in planning and implementing a national health network.
