Introduction
What's in this session for me, the participant? This session can create awareness of developing countries' potential for market expansion. 1. Academic institutions can enhance their HIM curriculum if they compare notes with the ICE-HP of the DLSU-HSC on how the curriculum was developed; particularly what inputs were given by target beneficiaries of the program and/or the target users (hospital health information management units). 2. Research and development and/or manufacturing companies can find market for their products and services and enhance data for developing technologies for market expansion. 3. Health service institutions can access data for medical research.
