All, There are some very interesting materials posted from this on-going conference.
Website: http://www.ehealth-connection.org/ I found the article below to be of particular interest. It is my ambition to capture a fraction of the information available on such portals for internationalization and use in the offline XO Health Portal project I am working on ( http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Health_portal ), while also providing on-line links to portals such as those discussed (even though they may not always address i18n or local issues as well as might be desirable): *eHealth Portals: Access to Health Information in the Context of Government Health Portals **Nicholas Cop:* http://ehealth-connection.org/files/conf-materials/eHealth%20Portals_0.pdf I would also like to point out that the message below was sent to the EQUIDAD List: http://listserv.paho.org/Archives/equidad.html This is an excellent, low-volume announce-only list produced by PAHO and I recommend it to anyone interested in these issues. "This message from the Pan American Health Organization, PAHO/WHO, is part of an effort to disseminate information Related to: Equity; Health inequality; Socioeconomic inequality in health; Socioeconomic health differentials; Gender; Violence; Poverty; Health Economics; Health Legislation; Ethnicity; Ethics; Information Technology - Virtual libraries; Research & Science issues." cjl ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Ruggiero, Mrs. Ana Lucia (WDC) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Mon, Jul 21, 2008 at 5:55 PM Subject: [EQ] Making the eHealth Connection -- Week 2: eHealth Capacity Building - Access to Health Information and Knowledge Sharing To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *Making the eHealth Connection: Global Partnerships, Local Solutions * *Bellagio** Center in Bellagio, Italy - July 13 to August 8, 2008* *The Rockefeller Foundation* Website: http://www.ehealth-connection.org/ *Making the eHealth Connection: Global Partnerships, Local Solutions* is a month-long conference series at the Rockefeller Foundation's Bellagio Center in Bellagio, Italy. eHealth is defined as the use of information and communications technology to improve the performance of health systems and represents a promising frontier. ** *Week 2: ** eHealth Capacity Building - Background Papers*: *Determining Health Informatics* *William Hersh, Alvaro Margolis, Fernán Quirós, Paula Otero** * http://ehealth-connection.org/files/conf-materials/Determining%20Health%20Informatics_0.pdf *Establishing Partnerships to Promote eHealth* *William M.
