CCC to Hold Fall 2012 Symposium
Aug. 18, 2012 - The Computing Community Consortium today announced that it will hold an invitation-only symposium in October 2012 titled "Computing and Health: New Opportunities and Directions." This two-day event, to be held in Bethesda, MD, near the campus of the National Institutes of Health, will serve as a follow-on to the workshop archived here.

New Report Published
May 26, 2010 - The CCC has prepared a white paper titled Information Technology Research Challenges for Healthcare: From Discovery to Delivery, following on to this workshop. The paper draws its ideas from the vision for basic research and development in health IT that was articulated by leading computer scientists, systems engineers, social scientists, and medical practitioners who attended the workshop--including the need for a highly collaborative, multi-disciplinary R&D agenda driven by multiple Federal funding agencies that these experts voiced.
Overview
This invitation only workshop, "Discovery and Innovation in Health IT," is sponsored by the National Science Foundation, the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the National Library of Medicine, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, the Computing Community Consortium, and the American Medical Informatics Association. It will be held at the Parc 55 Hotel in San Francisco on October 29 and 30, 2009.
The goals of the workshop are to:
Explore and define fundamental research challenges and opportunities in healthcare IT in both the near- and long-term;
Provide opportunities for relevant academic and industrial researchers, healthcare practitioners and IT healthcare suppliers to identify mutual interests in healthcare IT, as they relate to both near- and long-term challenges and solutions;
Identify a range of “model” proof-of-concept, integrative systems that might serve as motivating and unifying forces to drive fundamental research in healthcare IT and accelerate the transition of research outcomes into products and services;
The workshop will have four half-day sessions. Each of the first three sessions will have two plenary talks followed by small-group breakout discussions to define particular research challenges, multiple lines of attack, and possible test-beds or demonstration systems. Each of these sessions, which are further described subsequently, will end with short reports from the breakouts. The workshop will conclude with a session in which the participants synthesize the research opportunities defined in the earlier sessions and frame a call-to-action for the future.
The participants have been selected to represent a wide variety of interests and expertise. It is anticipated that in addition to interacting at the workshop with fellow participants coming from other disciplines and backgrounds, the participants will bring the results of the workshop back to their communities to foster increased interest in innovative uses of computing and information science and engineering for healthcare.
