The meeting was a follow-up to the MoU signed in June 2013 between UNU-IIGH and UTM. In the MoU, among others, the two institutions would work together to conduct joint research projects and capacity building in Clinical Pathways and Casemix system and organise scientific conferences, seminar and workshops.

The meeting commenced with a brief introduction on the relationship between Clinical Pathway and Casemix System by Prof Dr Syed Mohamed Aljunid. This was followed by a presentation on the proposal to develop and implement Myocardial Infraction Clinical Pathway and Casemix system in Institute Jantung Negara (IJN) by Dr Soperi, researcher and Computer Science’s lecturer from UTM.
