2003.02.03 av

NST, with support from the Norwegian Industrial and Regional Development Fund (SND) and Innomed, is arranging a seminar on "Hurtigruta" (the Norwegian coastal voyage) on February 4 and February 5. The seminar is part of NST's focus on home care and the nursing sector, and aims to establish cooperation with contributing parties, yielding valuable contributions to a scenario project. One of the intentions of this project is to increase knowledge and attention to the future use of technology in home care and the nursing sector.

About 60 participants from various professions, mainly industry, education, research, user groups and health institutions, will discuss the future needs for information technology within the home care and nursing sectors.

NST, Innomed, NORUT Social Science Research, The Royal Ministry of Health and Social Affairs, the health committee of Tromsø, the Tromsø council for the elderly, the Research Council of Norway and CSC Scandihealth will introduce various areas of interest for further discussion and debate. Areas of interest are mainly cooperation between industry and the home care and nursing sector, challenges within home care and nursing services, future perspectives and continued pursuit of the nationalized action plan for IT development in the health and social sectors.

In addition, NST will present a survey of the home care and the nursing sector related to future IT needs. The work includes information on future users of home care and nursing services - who they are, and what kind of care services they will demand. The focus is on existing and future technology, user groups, product development, and reforms in organizing public services.
