NOVEMBER 30, 2001
9:30 – 9:45 Official opening
Paolo Bonaiuti, Advisor to Prime Minister
9:45-10:00 Presentation of research’s conclusions
Vision is taking a systematic look at the impact of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) on a number of crucial sectors. The first one is Healthcare. Transportation, Education, Security will follow. The research grew out of the realisation of the great potential in putting Internet and Healthcare together. The beneficial impacts are mutual: Healthcare systems can achieve a quantum leap in productivity by using technologies, while the Internet itself could even solve its present growth crisis, by being applied to the Health sector.
Francesco Grillo, Director, Vision
Giuseppe Roma, Director, CENSIS
10:00-11:30 Session I: E-Government, the opportunities and the challenges
First session will look after the more general question of how approaches to e government are changing over time. In fact, it is increasingly clear that the Internet will produce a quantum leap in terms of productivity level and quality of life only if governments will accept and drive the institutional and organisational changes needed to realise its potential. Strategies of different countries will be compared by some of the most influential policy makers and policy making advisers.

Significant changes in huge sectors like healthcare, do not happen unless there is real partnership among all the stakeholders: private companies and government, ICT producers and health service providers, pharmaceutical firms and patient associations, new and traditional media. Representatives of the different parties will discuss how they are currently contributing to the modernisation of the system as a whole and how, in their opinion, the interactions among them could be improved.

Is therefore the Internet in the position to make possible a quantum leap in health systems productivity? Will we be able to solve the “we do not know” problem that Internet raises? How important is to foster strategic thinking and cross boarder collaborations?
