The workshop will > provide an opportunity for sharing practical experiences and best practices > in e-health information infrastructure development and management. It will > gather experts, researchers, system developers, practitioners and > policymakers designing and implementing solutions for managing clinical data > and integrating current and future electronic-health systems infrastructures. > > Issues of biomedical data-mining in large heterogeneous clinical data-sets, > information retrieval and extraction in multiple medical repositories, the > management of complexity and the coherent update of knowledge in medicine, > clinical standards interoperability in distributed health systems and the > patient Electronic Health Record (EHR) are now becoming critical to > implementing enterprise and nationwide health systems. > > Topics of interest will include knowledge management activities seeking to > address these issues by: (i) using clinical data mining, information > extraction and retrieval (ii) standardization of clinical classification > (i.e. International Classification of Diseases, ICD), large scale biomedical > terminologies and ontologies development (Systematized Nomenclature of > Medicine Clinical Terms, SNOMED CT), (iii) the standardization of clinical > information transfer formats (Health Level 7, HL7) and (iv) structuring of > clinical documents (Clinical Document Architecture, CDA) and the electronic > health records (EHR). > > Topic of Interest include but are not limited to: > > * Bio-medical Data-Mining, Information retrieval and extraction and NLP > on biomedical text > * Inference and statistical Models of diseases & Multi-morbidity > * Clinical Information Retrieval, Management and Normalization > * Medical Knowledge Representation and Reasoning, Expert and Clinical > Decision Support Systems > * Interoperability in Distributed healthcare Systems > * Clinical Information Standards (e.g. HL7) Clinical Terminologies, > Classifications (e.g. ICD 10) and biomedical ontologies (e.g. SNOMED - CT) > * Hospital Enterprise Information Management Systems, Electronic Health > Record, (EHR), Clinical Document Architecture > > > Challenges and Visions Track > > > In cooperation with the Computing Community Consortium (CCC), MIXHS 11 > invites submissions to a special "Challenges and Visions" track. The emphasis > of this track will be on visionary ideas, long term challenges, and > opportunities in research that are outside of the current mainstream topics > of the field. > > Submissions will be judged on the extent to which they expand the > possibilities and horizons of the field or challenge existing assumptions > prevalent in the field. > > Submissions to this track should follow the same formatting guidelines as > submissions to the research track , but are limited to at most FOUR pages in > length for both submission and final publication. Accepted papers will be > published in the conference proceedings. > > To encourage researchers to present truly visionary concepts, the CCC is > offering prizes for up to 3 top papers in this special track: first prize > $1000, second prize $750, and third prize $500, to be awarded as travel > grants. > > > > Submission > > > All the accepted papers will be included in the workshop proceedings and > published at ACM Digital Library: http://portal.acm.org/dl.cfm > > Selected excellent papers will be invited for further refereeing for > publication on Journal of Biomedical Semantics <http://www.jbiomedsem.com/> . > > We are welcome submissions in the following formats: > > * Full Research Paper Track (8 pages, ACM) > * Short Paper Track for Challenges and Visions in Medical Informatics and > work in progress (4 pages, ACM) > > All papers must be submitted in an electronic format which conforms to the > ACM proceedings style and submitted as PDF files.
