                   --------------------------------------

               June 7-9, 1993 - Hotel Excelsior, Venice Lido, Italy

GOALS

Patient cards have matured to a point where every healthcare professional
should be informed their effect on health care. The congress will provide
a platform for exchanging information on the introduction of patient data
cards and their role in clinical information systems. Patient-card applic-
ations will include diabetes cards, kidney care cards, dialysis cards,
cancer follow-up cards, pharmacy cards, dental cards, ambulatory cards,
emergency cards, hospital cards and maternity cards applications.

This is the only congress with a global focus on computer based records
and patient data cards. Data protection requirements, new technologies
(such as pen computing), and new clinical software will be analyzed for
primary care physicians, mental health applications, and others.

This congress will serve also as a base to evaluate card technologies and
implementation processes in several coutries, such as the introduction of
medical insurance cards. Finally, it will introduce the latest develop-
ments in the field of automated health records, computer systems, software
and diagnostic technology. Future medical information systems will include
the creation and storage of documentation on computers and large scale
electronic communication. Insurance cards, patient follow-up cards and
the health passport card will be analyzed with these concepts. New
multi-media medical computer stations will be introduced which allow
dictation into the computer, pen computing and other new computer devices.
