IMICH - International Mobile Informatics Conference in Healthcare http://www.rnpalm.com/IMICH.htm

RNpalm http://www.RNpalm.com is pleased to sponsor the world's first

interdisciplinary conference addressing the issues necessary to harness the

potential of mobile informatics technology and leverage the mobile computing

platform at the point of care.

The ongoing evolution of wireless technology, and mobile device capabilities

is changing the way healthcare practitioners interact with information

technologies. The growth and acceptance of mobile information technology at

the point of care, coupled with the promise and convenience of data on

demand, creates opportunities for enhanced patient care and safety.

This mobile revolution will create critical, system-wide healthcare and IT

challenges that must be understood and addressed to maximize the delivery of

patient care. At its core, mobile technology is creating a dynamic new

information platform that if understood and optimized can be leveraged for

unlimited advantage and improved efficiencies. Make no mistake, clinicians

and organizations will need to go mobile to stay competitive!

IMICH is the forum that brings together key industry participants and

pioneers around the issues associated with understanding, implementing and

maximizing mobile information technology in healthcare.
