Healthcare Technology Management Best Practice Advocacy Campaign and Competition
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Afro-Net Colleagues
Best-Practice in Healthcare Technology Management - ADVOCACY CAMPAIGN AND COMPETITION
FAKT Consult for Management, Training and Technologies and the HTM Programme at the University of Cape Town, supported by the German Church Development Service (EED) and Bread for the World (an aid programme of the German Protestant churches), are conducting a Best-Practice in HTM Campaign until September 2006. Full details are available on the website http://www.htm-matters.com
With this campaign, we aim to promote African Regional cooperation in healthcare technology management (HTM). By collecting and publishing HTM-related experiences, we wish to encourage mutual learning and dissemination of HTM best-practice, thereby contributing to improved quality and sustainability of healthcare delivery in the African Region. An HTM framework model is provided as a normative context for the campaign.
We INVITE YOU TO PARTICIPATE by:
- sharing your Case Study experiences in healthcare technology planning, procurement, asset- and risk-management and maintenance whether successes or failures, there is something to be learnt from all our endeavours;
- entering the HTM Best-Practice Slogan Competition;
- requesting/distributing HTM Advocacy Packs (including pocket guides, rulers, posters & year-planners).
There are prizes to be won for both the HTM case-study experiences and best-practice slogans (deadline for submissions is 15 September 2006).
While focusing on the needs and experiences of the African Region, we acknowledge the global community of HTM practitioners and invite all those who have been in any way active in the African Region, or know of case studies that would contribute to the evidence base, to also participate.
Your participation could make a significantly positive impact on the improvement of healthcare delivery. The case studies will be selectively compiled into an HTM Case Study Experiences from Africa publication for wide dissemination.
If you would like to request a hard-copy Entry Form (with HTM Framework Model) or a free HTM Advocacy Pack, or require further information on the campaign, kindly contact the undersigned.
Sincerely
Mladen Poluta
