The purpose of this presentation is to highlight a few ways to leverage Semantic Technologies in order to pave the way for the next generation healthcare systems, now being coined as Health 3.0.
This session will provide an overview on healthcare reform and how semantic technologies can address key strategic areas in order to decrease the overall cost of healthcare. It will present an introduction into the complex world of ‘healthcare informatics,’ as well as provide insights into the latest industry initiatives and the standards and frameworks that dictate the flow of health related information. Our goal is to stimulate more dialogue and more collaboration between the semantic community and the healthcare informatics communities toward the ultimate end of reducing the cost and enhancing the overall effectiveness of our healthcare systems.
