ISHIMR 2020
The International Symposium for Health Information Management Research (ISHIMR) is being held this year at Linnaeus University. Scientists from all over the world gather to discuss e-health. The overall conference theme for ISHIMR 2020 is "Using digital information for better patient health, care and well-being".
ISHIMR 2020 will be digital
On behalf of the ISHIMR 2020 Committee, we would like to inform you that due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, ISHIMR 2020 will become a live online conference, i.e. no physical presence is required and the sessions will be online using Zoom on the original conference dates, 17 Sep 2020 - 18 Sep 2020.
The move to the online conference is primarily to protect the participants, as the circumstances are highly uncertain concerning the spread of the virus and because of the extent of the travel restrictions.
Due to the change to online conference, we will also be able to accept further submissions until 15 April 2020.
Best regards,
Evalill Nilsson, Chair, Organising Committee Chair
Peter A. Bath, Programme Committee
