IWIHI 2011 - International Workshop on Innovation in Health Informatics (IWIHI'11)

International Workshop on Innovation in Health Informatics (IWIHI'11)
July 18-21, 2011, Las Vegas, USA

The First International Workshop on Innovation in Health Informatics
(IWIHI'11) will be organized as part of the 2011 International Conference on
Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (BIOCOMP'11), July 18-21, 2011. It
will examine the innovation in acquiring, storing, retrieving, and using
information in health care and biomedical environments. The goal of the
workshop is to bring together researchers from the fields of health care,
computing, and engineering to enhance the multidisciplinary nature of Health
Informatics.
