Health Informatics user community launched

By Jianggan Li | 14 November 2008

The Committee of Healthcare Informatics Users (CHIU) for Asia was officially launched in Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam.

According to Adam Chee, CHIU’s Ambassador, the community is aimed at representing physicians, paramedical professionals, IT professionals, biomedical Engineers and professionals in related disciplines.

Chee also reveals that CHIU’s mission statement is to ‘raise the bar’ in the adoption and implementation of healthcare informatics through active intellectual participation, collaboration as well as the promotion of knowledge exchange and ongoing vendor neutral educational activities of our members via its online platform.

CHIU’s upcoming activities include educational initiatives such as whitepapers and web conferencing sessions.

Initiated by Agfa healthcare, the event was co-sponsor by IBM, CHIU’s technology partner for Vietnam and attended by delegates from Singapore, Malaysia, Australia and Vietnam.
