The third Baltic Conference on E-Health will take place on September 16. The primary aim of the conference – featuring the topic “Cross-Border Healthcare” - at the Hamburg Chamber of Commerce is to provide a cross-sector forum for healthcare providers from Germany, Poland, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, Russia, Finland, Norway, Sweden, and Denmark.

The Baltic Conference on E-Health will present a well-balanced mix of best practices and strategy-oriented presentations from various countries. The participants including representatives from hospitals, governments, health insurance organizations, service providers and media will have the opportunity to exchange views and experiences among all those involved in health management. "To learn from each other - to work with one another" shall be our joint ambition. The conference program will focus on following topics:

1. Cross-Border Healthcare (experience and knowledge transfer, best practices, interoperability/interconnectivity, globalization, business intelligence/consulting and quality management)


2. Optimization of clinical and business processes as well as of hospital information and communication systems in order to increase the quality and economics of patient care


3. Telemedicine

     Moreover, the link between e-health and medical engineering
     will be discussed.

The conference will not only include several presentations and workshops but also an exhibition of international IT solution providers and a pre-opening session on September 15 (starting 14.30 h) at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE). Here, we have scheduled guided tours through the “new UKE” (Europe’s most advanced hospital), various presentations, a panel discussion and the official reception for our international and national attendees.
