Information Challenges in Patient Transition.

The aim of this workshop is to address challenges in access to accurate and relevant information for both patients and their clinicians during patient transitions. Successful exchange of information across transitions relies on clinicians' use of the electronic health record, information systems that support workflow and communication and access to actionable information to facilitate information exchange. In this workshop the speakers will illustrate the above mentioned challenges. The chairman will initially make a short statement of the purpose and the organization of the workshops.
