Proceedings of the 5th International Advanced Research Workshop on In Silico Oncology and Cancer Investigation

Proceedings of the 5th International Advanced Research Workshop on In Silico Oncology and Cancer InvestigationCancer is a natural phenomenon and as such it should be amenable to mathematical and computational description. Clinically driven complex multiscale cancer models can produce rather realistic spatio-temporal simulations of concrete clinical interventions such as radio-chemotherapy applied to individual patients. Clinical data processing procedures and computer technologies play an important role in this context. Read more...

Legal Frameworks for eHealth: Based on the Findings of the Second Global Survey on eHealthGlobal Observatory for eHealth series - Volume 5.
Given that privacy of the doctor-patient relationship is at the heart of good health care, and that the electronic health record (EHR) is at the heart of good eHealth practice, the question arises: Is privacy legislation at the heart of the EHR? The second global survey on eHealth conducted by the Global Observatory for eHealth (GOe) set out to answer that question by investigating the extent to which the legal frameworks in the Member States of the World Health Organization (WHO) address the need to protect patient privacy in EHRs as health care systems move towards leveraging the power of EHRs to deliver safer, more efficient, and more accessible health care.
