Call for Paper and Participation

CODATA Conference Session on

Electronic Health Record Management and Preservation (EHR-MP)

October 28 - 31, 2012, Taipei, Taiwan

 

The CODATA (Committee on Data, established since 1966), an interdisciplinary Scientific Committee of the International Council for Science (ICSU), which works to improve the quality, reliability, management and accessibility of data of importance to all fields of science and technology, is happy to host the conference sessions on Electronic Health Record on Management and Preservation at its 23^rd Conference in Taipei, Taiwan, Oct. 28 – 31, 2012.  Please see http://ehrmp.nist.gov for details.

 

Background

The ability to apply standard and interoperable solutions to manage and preserve electronic health records (lab test results, CT scans, physician notes, pharmacies, long-term care, etc.) and migrate, distribute, replicate, and access these records from legacy formats and platforms to advanced standard formats and operating systems are vital for clinical care and medical research. However, management and systems interoperability for preservation, storage, and accessibility of such health data has not yet fully defined for electronic health records (EHRs). If management and preservation of clinical information are not addressed, valuable and irreplaceable information will become Inaccessible, or disappear over time with disastrous consequences for patient safety, care and research value. Replacing lost data even if possible, will entail huge costs for patients, clinicians, administrators, pharmacists, and potentially, the entire country's economy.

 

The conference session focuses on underlying models, methods, systems, and application areas, with a strong emphasis on clinical information modeling, system performance, and behavior (backward and forward compatibility).

 

The list of topics of interest includes, but is not limited to:

·         Clinical Knowledge Modeling

·         Universal Representation for Clinical Information

·         EHR Management, Archival, and Preservation

·         EHR System Architecture and Workflow

·         EHR Harmonization

·         EHR Format Migration Strategy

·         EHR DICOM and Multimedia Management

·         EHR/PHR Mobile Application

·         EHR Systems for Clinical Research

·         EHR Security, and Access Control

·         EHR Metadata and Ontologies

·         EHR Semantic Interoperability

·         EHR Query Language

·         Web Services to EHR Repositories

 

Paper Submission and Proceedings Publication

Full-length papers between 4 and 6 A4 pages are solicited. Detailed submission instructions will be posted on the EHR-MP website in due time. Each submission will go through peer-review process. The conference proceedings potentially be published by the ACM International Conference Proceedings Series.
