Hi everyone,
We have confirmation of acceptance of our Clinical Modelling Tutorial for Medinfo, with the details pretty much unchanged from our original submission for a workshop. I will submit the tutorial description, such that it is unchanged from our original submission, as requested. Please note that presenters are required to register for the conference and today is the last day for Early Bird registrations. Those that volunteered at the original time of submission were: * Ian McNicoll * Rong Chen * Jussara Macedo * Shinji Kobayashi * Anze Droljc * And maybe myself, if I can get myself half way around the world in time :) Regards Heather From: Leong Tze Yun [mailto:leon...@nus.edu.sg] Sent: Friday, 26 April 2013 3:37 PM To: Heather Leslie Cc: spc at medinfo2013.dk Subject: Re: Medinfo 2013 - Scientific Program Committee Decision, Id: 946 Dear Heather, Thanks for your reply. We will be glad to convert Submission 946 to a tutorial. You will receive the formal notification soon. In the mean time, would you please prepare a 350 word description of your tutorial so that we can put it up on the website? Please include educational goals, topics covered, learning outcomes. background required, and instructors info. Also, please note that all the instructors are required to register for the conference - the Early Bird deadline has been postponed til today, 26 April 2013. So you can still take advantage of the substantial discounts. We look forward to meeting you in Copenhagen.

I know that many people within the openEHR community have expressed a desire to attend, if we can coordinate a presentation. Based on my original submission, my answers to your questions are as follows: 1/ What would be the educational objectives for the tutorial? * The overall objective is to inform attendees about how the openEHR approach to EHR development and most specifically, the openEHR methodology for collaborative clinical content development and how this is practically contributing to international EHR initiatives, by: o Informing clinicians and domain experts about openEHR clinical knowledge assets as agreed and common building blocks for sharing health information at knowledge level. o Informing about the openEHR Clinical Knowledge Manager as: an online library of archetypes and templates; an international collaborative portal for clinicians to review, agree and publish archetypes; and an online tool to enable clinical knowledge artefact governance. o Providing an understanding of the international, national and local collaborations on EHRs and health IT projects using archetypes, templates and the Clinical Knowledge Manager. o Providing examples of archetypes in broad international practice - EHRs, clinical decision support, clinical research and national eHealth programs. 2/ What would be the topics to be covered in the tutorial? * Introduction to the openEHR approach to EHR development * Introduction to the openEHR clinical modelling methodology * Clinical Requirements gathering and documentation * Model development * Clinician engagement and verification of models * Knowledge governance * Tooling available * The methodology in international use by local experts: o Supporting National & Regional programs - Australia/UK o Localizing openEHR models - Brazil & Japan o Clinical Research - Japan o Clinical Decision Support - Sweden o EHR development - Slovenia Please let me know if you need further clarification. I sincerely wish for this submission to be successful Kind Regards Heather Dr Heather Leslie MBBS FRACGP FACHI Director of Clinical Modelling <http://www.oceaninformatics.com/> Ocean Informatics Phone (Aust) +61 (0)418 966 670 Skype - heatherleslie Twitter - @omowizard From: Leong Tze Yun [mailto:leon...@nus.edu.sg] Sent: Thursday, 11 April 2013 2:50 PM To: Heather Leslie Cc: spc at medinfo2013.dk <mailto:spc at medinfo2013.dk> Subject: Re: Medinfo 2013 - Scientific Program Committee Decision, Id: 946 Dear Dr. Leslie, After careful considerations on all the tutorial proposals and the relevant topics, we would like to check with you if you are still interested in presenting your workshop in a single-session (180 minutes) tutorial format at Medinfo 2013. As there are other workshops/tutorials that are based on the OpenEHR platform, this would involve some co-ordination with each other on the content to be presented. Please let us know if this would be OK with you. If you are keen to pursue the above arrangement, we would like to request for some clarifications on the following issues, before a final acceptance decision is made: 1/ What would be the educational objectives for the tutorial? 2/ What would be the topics to be covered in the tutorial? Thank you again for submitting your proposal to Medinfo 2013. We look forward to hearing from you soon. With best regards, Tze-Yun and Dominik Medinfo 2013 Scientific Program Co-Chairs From: Heather Leslie <heather.les...@oceaninformatics.com <mailto:heather.leslie at oceaninformatics.com> > Date: Thursday, 14 March, 2013 11:16 AM To: "spc at medinfo2013.dk <mailto:spc at medinfo2013.dk> " <spc at medinfo2013.dk <mailto:spc at medinfo2013.dk> > Subject: RE: Medinfo 2013 - Scientific Program Committee Decision, Id: 946 Dear Sir or Madam, Given that our submission was rejected on the grounds that it was more suited for a different format and not for lack of merit, is it possible for this to be reconsidered as a tutorial? This approach that we wish to share is gaining significant international traction and in all other conferences attracts significant interest. In fact, at MIE in Sweden our workshop on openEHR was the only one to achieve sufficient registrants to actually run. I would respectfully ask your committee to reconsider our proposal, specifically because of the reviewers comments re needing a different format, not that the proposal was not of use or interest. I also note the reviewers specifically point out the strengths of the proposal coming from a panel of very experienced implementers and a clear educational purpose. Many thanks for your reconsideration, Regards Heather Leslie Dr Heather Leslie MBBS FRACGP FACHI Director of Clinical Modelling <http://www.oceaninformatics.com/> Ocean Informatics Phone (Aust) +61 (0)418 966 670 Skype - heatherleslie Twitter - @omowizard From: Medinfo2013 [mailto:mailro...@online-registry.net] Sent: Thursday, 14 March 2013 3:05 AM To: heather.leslie at oceaninformatics.com <mailto:heather.leslie at oceaninformatics.com> Subject: Medinfo 2013 - Scientific Program Committee Decision, Id: 946 Medinfo 2013 <https://medinfo2013.online-registry.net/download/preliminaryDecisionHeader0 .png> <https://medinfo2013.online-registry.net/download/preliminaryDecisionHeader1 .png> MEDINFO 2013 - Decision on Submission ID MEDINFO-946 12th March 2013 Dear Dr. Heather Leslie, Thank you for submitting your contribution entitled The international impact of openEHR clinical content models (Id=946) to MEDINFO 2013, the 14th World Congress on Medical and Health Informatics to be held from August 20-23 2013 at the Bella Center, Copenhagen, Denmark. Medinfo 2013 received a very large number of submissions, with more than 500 papers and more than 200 posters. All submitted papers were reviewed by a minimum of two reviewers and members of the Scientific Program Committee (SPC). All submitted posters, workshops, panels, and scientific demonstrations were reviewed by members of the SPC. Given the constraints of the limited meeting length and space, and the high quality of the submissions, the SPC was forced to make some difficult decisions this year. Unfortunately, your submission was not accepted for the conference program. We appreciated your submission; comments from the reviewers are listed below and we hope that they are informative and helpful. MEDINFO 2013 Decision: Not Accepted We hope that you can still join the international biomedical informatics community at MEDINFO in Copenhagen. The early bird deadline is April 15, 2013. You can register and get additional information about the conference program, tutorial, on-site program, etc. at: www.medinfo2013.dk <http://www.medinfo2013.dk> Warm Regards Dominik Aronsky & Tze-Yun Leong, SPC Co-chairs Reviewers' Comments This proposal is more suitable for a tutorial. The authors do not clearly describe audience engagement strategies.THe strengths come from a panel of experimented implementers of openEHR archetypes and a clear educational purpose, but it lacks methodology to encourage attendees to interact with the presenters. <https://medinfo2013.online-registry.net/> -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
