The
project aims to provide the first phase of a web-based
"one-stop" reference, networking and support resource for
healthcare technology management practitioners, focusing on the needs of
practitioners in poorly-resourced countries around the world.
Outputs
of the proposed project (the first phase of a larger project) will include
developing the ICHTM (International Centre for HCT management) website
core content with links to international, regional and national sites and
resources; an electronic newsletter; accessory resources such as Glossary,
"Best Practice" Guidelines and Policy Frameworks; and
communication/ networking tools (discussion lists, electronic conferences,
virtual seminars and mailing lists). A website team will ensure the
sustainability of the site.
The
project will complement and link up with the proposed project submitted to
KaR by the AFTH (P37).
The
IFMBE has experience in website development and HCT management information
dissemination, and will be supported by an International Advisory Board
comprising representatives of collaborating organisations such as WHO,
PAHO, and the International Federation for Hospital Engineering (IFHE).
