This Thursday at Change Bill Lober, director of informatics at UW’s International Training and Education Center for Health (I-TECH), will present an overview of I-TECH’s work in six countries, talk about what goes well and what doesn’t, and ask for some ideas on how to do it better. Bill Lober, MD MS, is an Associate Professor in the University of Washington Schools of Medicine, Nursing, and Public Health, in health informatics and global health. In addition to his I-TECH role, Dr. Lober directs the UW Clinical Informatics Research Group (and is solely responsible for http://cirg.washington.edu being so out of date). His work in Global Health Informatics is primarily through I-TECH, where he directs projects in Haiti, Kenya, Cote d'Ivoire, Mozambique, Namibia, and Vietnam. These projects range from developing standards-based eHealth architectures (Kenya and Vietnam), through national surveillance and monitoring/evaluation systems (Mozambique), through support and/or development of facility level systems such as electronic medical record systems and laboratory systems (Haiti, Kenya, Cote d'Ivoire, and Namibia), to informatics training and local capacity development (Kenya and Haiti). His education and industry experience is in Electrical and Computer Engineering, and his clinical training is in Emergency Medicine.
