Synopsis
Dr Derek Hoy, who sadly died in 2012, was a nurse, an informatics specialist and visionary, an academic and a member of BCS Health and Care Scotland.
In his honour we established a Memorial Lecture where we invite Derek’s colleagues, innovative thinkers and influential figures to share their thoughts and help us shape the future taking account of Derek’s legacy.
In 2023 the memorial lecture will be given by Dr Ann Kristin Rotegård who is the current Chair of the Nursing Informatics Special Interest Group at the International Medical Informatics Association (IMIA).
In her lecture, Dr. Ann Kristin Rotegård will share reflections on her 25+ years of experience in digital health and nursing care. Focusing on evidence-based practice and documentation, decision support, and terminologies Ann Kristin will chart the future she envision, taking account of Derek’s legacy.
