7. Next bulletin
1. Mario Stefanelli
As many of you will already be aware, it was with great sadness and regret that we all received the news of the death of Mario Stefanelli. Mario made many significant contributions to the work of IMIA, through involvement in several Medinfo events, and he was a valuable researcher and contributor, and leader, in his areas of expertise. Several tributes have been provided, both through the EFMI website (http://www.efmi.org) by EFMI President John Mantas, and through the IMIA News website (http://wp.me/pvCUS-wx), by Mario's colleague at the University of Pavia, Dr. Riccardo Bellazzi.
2. AMIA2010 and continuing discussions on Medinfo2010 themes and issues
Medinfo-AMIA bridge http://grou.ps/medinfo2amia2010
This collaborative space was refocused following Medinfo2010, and used to explore themes in international informatics in the context of the Medinfo2010 and AMIA2010 conferences. There have been two moderated discussions; the first, on Global Approaches to Using Informatics to Support Quality and Safety, and a second, on mHealth.
Issues from these discussions, and summaries of Medinfo2010, will contribute to sessions at AMIA2010, and we will be then exploring future collaborations/explorations of the issues. This initiative is being lead by Gil Kuperman, AMIA2010 SPC Chair.
3. Call for participation in IMIA Code of Ethics update
The IMIA Code of Ethics for Health Information Professionals was endorsed by the IMIA GA in 2002. The code was the culmination of a global collaborative effort led by IMIA's then Working Group on Data Protection in Health Information, chaired by Prof Ab Baker of the Netherlands.The primary author of the code was Dr. Eike-Henner W. Kluge, University of Victoria, Canada.
The 2010 IMIA GA has approved the formation of a taskforce to examine the code and recommend any updates. Prof. Kluge has kindly agreed to lead this work again. If anyone wishes to participate in this work, or contribute in any way, they are invited to contact Prof. Kluge at ekluge@uvic.ca
4. Invitations to participate in new Telehealth WG and Critical Care WG
The 2010 IMIA GA approved the formation of several new WGs, and activity to re-activate or refocus the activities of others. The chairs of two in particular invite interested people who wish to actively contribute to the WG activities to contact them.
The Telehealth WG (a refocussing of the Telematics WG) chair is Dr S B Gogia (gogia7@gmail.com) from the Indian Association for Medical Informatics (IAMI) and the vice chair is Prof. Anthony Maeder (a.maeder@uws.edu.au) from University of Western Sydney, Australia.
The new Critical Care WG has Mr Reza Shahpori (Reza.shahpori@albertahealthservices.ca) from Alberta Health Services, Canada as chair.
Anyone interested in active contribution to any WGs should contact the chairs and vice chairs, whose information is on the IMIA website.

6. Journals
a] ACI invitation from IMIA President Antoine Geissbuhler
Antoine Geissbühler, IMIA President, encourages IMIA members, and the wider international health and biomedical informatics community, to contribute to Applied Clinical informatics (ACI). He writes:
Applied Clinical Informatics (ACI), an official Journal of IMIA, is a peer-reviewed eJournal that can be accessed at www.aci-journal.org With Applied Clinical informatics (ACI) we established an international platform for knowledge sharing between clinical medicine and health IT specialists. We bridge gaps between visionary design and successful and pragmatic deployment. IMIA is very proud to sponsor this new journal and we are hoping to attract submissions and reviews from readers all over the world.
The importance of an international journal dedicated to the application of health information technology at the bedside can not be underestimated. Sharing of knowledge across borders, allowing others to learn from your implementation experiences, and preventing the duplication of errors by sharing lessons learned is critical to better patient care.
We are inviting you and your colleagues to submit your work to Applied Clinical Informatics. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
Clinical information systems
- Administrative and management systems
- eHealth systems
- Information technology development and deployment
- Evaluation of information technology
- Socio-technical aspects of information technology
- Health IT training.
Applied Clinical Informatics is using a double-blinded review process to assure that all submissions receive the same unbiased reviews. The average time from submission to final decision was only 59 days for Applied Clinical Informatics in 2010.
To showcase the high quality of ACI – IMIA has made the first issue available for free (>>>). In case you require an extended trial access on pay-per-view articles before you wish to submit a paper via http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/acij or before you subscribe to the eJournal, please do not hesitate to contact andrea.muehl@schattauer.de
Every Wednesday is ACI Day, with the new research articles, reviews, case reports and the latest news.
For further information on this peer-reviewed eJournal, go to www.aci-journal.org
b] IMIA Official Journals
IMIA has three official journals: Methods of Information in Medicine (http://www.methods-online.com/) and Applied Clinical Informatics (http://www.aci-journal.org/) (Schattauer Publishers Stuttgart) and Elsevier Science's International Journal of Medical Informatics (http://www.ijmijournal.com/home).
ACI and Methods of Information in Medicine, both published by Schattauer, have eTOC (electronic tables of contents). To keep up to date on the latest changes, new articles, etc., you can subscribe to these - http://bit.ly/diZQse You can choose to subscribe to the ACI eTOC, the Methods eTOC, or both – and similar listings for other journals. The websites of both journals also have full information on subscribing, and for authors interested in publishing.
Methods Volume 49, Issue 5 is available at: http://www.methods-online.com
c] Request for information on member society journals
Many IMIA member societies, and some WGs, publish regular journals, newletters, etc. We wish to compile a complete list of these. We invite members to send details of their journals and other regular publications (eg e-News services).
