The WHCC Affordable Health Innovations Global Initiative is pleased to welcome Children’s Hospital Boston, Harvard Medical School to the poster exhibit at the World Health Care Congress Middle East, December 5-7 in Abu Dhabi. Dr. Rana Sharara-Chami, assistant in critical care medicine, will present “Pediatric Intensive Care Unit Without Walls, a state-of-the-art Web site that would provide free and unlimited access to pediatric critical care resources for health care professionals around the world. The Web site features presentations by international experts in the field, hands-on practice by the experts and simulation-based talks. In addition, it has a health map to track incidence of disease and regional epidemiology of infections, clinical practice guidelines to all ICU topics and an interactive forum where health care professonals could contribute, comment and ask questions. A Middle East inititave is underway where the Web site’s usability is being tested in many centers. The project coordinators hope the knowledge will affect physicians’ behavior and eventually improve children mortality rates around the world.
