The meeting took place back-to-back with the meeting of the OECD Health Committee facilitating the participation of member countries. The objective of the meeting was to provide a business and industry perspective on topics of relevance to the OECD project and to provide a platform to engage in constructive dialogue to increase the understanding of both the success and failure factors of the introduction of ICT in health care. Light was shed on specific challenges the industry faces in the design and implementation of ICT projects and present practical experiences from which lessons could be learnt.
