Dr. Fuller’s speech focuses on her work on developing health information systems (from individual patient records to building integrated databases and tools to support disease surveillance). She discusses how the established model of information systems to support intervention is leading to what she calls "prevention informatics,” in which information systems help prevent disease in the first place. She also discusses how the use of information and communications technologies for improving health in low resource settings. She believes that many of the information systems problems in developing countries are mirrored in a variety of ways in the United States.
