Mini EURO Conference on
Improving Healthcare: new
challenges, new approaches
Coimbra, Portugal
30 March – 1 April 2015
We would
like to welcome you to
Coimbra, a beautiful city in Portugal, and its University
recently recognized
as World Heritage by UNESCO.
Scope
and objectives
Recent
advances in medicine allow us
to live longer and healthier lives. These advances have been
made possible
through the joint contribution of very different scientific
fields. Healthcare
is nowadays better understood as a multidisciplinary field, with
increasing
number of challenges that can be better tackled by joint
collaboration of
researchers with different scientific backgrounds.
The
challenges that Healthcare is
facing have not only to do with the ability of providing better
services to all
(treatments, preventive medicine, better diagnosis tools), with
an increased
focus on improved personalized treatment options, but also with
the need to
tackle an increased pressure felt by Healthcare systems:
increased number of
patients, some of them requiring expensive treatments, with a
consequent
increase in the workload for health institutions that most of
the times have to
deal with important budget restrictions.
The
Conference will provide
a forum in which
researchers coming from different scientific disciplines can
discuss and share
their experience regarding methodological approaches to tackle
different
Healthcare challenges. Contributions from operational research,
industrial
engineering, medicine, medical physics, management,
computational biology,
bioinformatics, health economics among others are welcomed.
