This two-day event (June 25-26) will bring together stakeholders from government agencies, academic institutions, health care organizations, and technologies to review the state of telehealth science and technology, identify gaps in knowledge that can be addressed through targeted research and evaluation initiatives, and to explore ways to leverage evolving information and communication technologies to advance the field.
Interactive panel sessions on the second day will yield specific recommendations to stimulate development, implementation, and evaluation of telehealth applications for clinical care, clinical and translational research, and health education and training, with the ultimate goals to broaden participation in research and improve health outcomes in medically under-served communities.
This event is free and open to the public. Early registration is strongly encouraged due to limited space. The registration deadline is June 15, 2009.
