September 8-10, 2009
Sheepdrove Eco Conference Centre, Lambourn, Berkshire

Details and Registration

"I found the course really helpful and well-organized. The venue was also a great choice."

"Very informative and beneficial. A good spread of information with similar depth in each topic."

"A good overview of modelling, messaging and SNOMED CT - it helped me understand the bigger picture."

This new three-day course is based on Tim Benson’s forthcoming book “Principles of Healthcare Interoperability using HL7 and SNOMED CT”, which is to be published by Springer in 2009. The material has been extensively updated.

Routine Health Outcomes

The Darzi Report, High Quality Care for All, states that if quality is to be at the heart of everything we do, it must be understood from the perspective of patients. Quality measurement is key (after all, we can only be sure to improve what we actually measure); a defining characteristic of high performing teams is their willingness to measure their performance and use the information to make continuous improvements. Effectiveness of care should be measured using patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), alongside clinical measures such as mortality, complication rates and clinical improvement.

Further information about howRU, including a demonstration instrument can be found at the Routine Health Outcomes web site.
