The organizers of the 9º Regional Congress of Information in Health Sciences (CRICS9) disseminated this week, in the web site of the congress, information detailed on the five themes of the event: information for the decision-making in health; Strategies and public policies; Information and communication technologies; Telehealth; and Development of capacities.
The slogan of the CRICS9 is “eHealth: reaching universal access to health”. During three days the participants of the CRICS9 will be contributing through plenary sessions, round tables, panels, and workshops. The event will be preceded by the 6th Meeting of Regional Coordination of the VHL (BVS6), to be held between October, 21 and 22, also in Washington.
CRICS is the most important forum for exchange of information on programs, projects, systems, and networks of information and scientific communication in health in the Region of the Americas. Among these programs are the Virtual of Health Library (VHL) and Virtual Campus of Public Health (VCPH).
CRICS is organized by the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO/WHO), through its Latin American and Caribbean Center on Health Sciences Information (BIREME).
