The Symposium on eHealth & Technology Stategies
to Improve Care Delivery in California was an invitation-only
conference sponsored by the Center
for Health Research at the University
of California, Berkeley and supported by a grant
from the California
HealthCare Foundation.
The Center
for Health Research is a group of over 60 faculty
researchers on the Berkeley and San Francisco campuses of
the University of California. Its members come from many of the
social sciences: economics, demography, political science, public
health, business, psychology, social welfare, and sociology.
Established in January 2001, the Center for Health Research serves as a forum for bringing
together social scientists and other investigators across the campus
to address the many challenging issues facing the health sector
of society. It is an integral component of the University's overall
Health Sciences Initiative. The Center aspires to be one of the
nation's leaders for producing new understanding of the multiple
factors affecting health, health care delivery, and technological
innovation.
The California HealthCare Foundation, based in Oakland, California, is a non-profit philanthropic organization whose mission is to expand access to affordable, quality health care for underserved individuals and communities, and to promote fundamental improvements in the health status of the people of California.
