The Healthcare industry landscape is undergoing a rapid transformation globally and healthcare organizations across Canada must continue to embrace this transition. Technology breakthroughs in analytics, mobile and security are changing the future of healthcare and IBM, through its solutions portfolio, is enabling organizations to improve care delivery, reduce costs and deliver better outcomes for Canadian patients.
As we take giant steps into the cognitive era, IBM will be demonstrating this thought leadership, cognitive capabilities and solution portfolio at the eHealth Conference 2016. This annual event brings together 1500+ health informatics professionals, clinicians, executives and vendors from across Canada. The conference will include an abundance of health informatics education with 200 abstract presentations, along with industry-sponsored symposia, over four days (June 5 – 8, 2016) at the Vancouver Convention Centre, Vancouver, British Columbia.
Keeping in mind the on-going rapid innovations changing the Canadian healthcare industry, IBM’s theme for eHealth 2016 is “Enabling the future for Health”. The IBM Booth #716 will feature these key solutions:
- Enabling the Mobile Healthcare Worker
- Securing the Healthcare Enterprise
- Supporting Clinicians at the Point of Care with Watson Health Solutions
In addition, IBM will have an adjacent meeting area where IBM subject matter experts look forward to engaging further with the eHealth delegates.
To continue the conversation on healthcare transformation, IBM will have two industry-sponsored symposia on the conference program. We encourage the eHealth delegates to block their calendars for these two sessions!
