Dear Sir, Madam,

 

Please find the second call for papers for the ICMCC Event 2006.

The deadline for submission of full papers has been extended to March
20,
2006.

 

Accepted papers will be published in "Medical and Care Compunetics 3"
(IOS
Press - "Studies in Health Technology and Informatics") available at
the
conference.

For more detailed information please refer to www.icmcc2006.org 
<http://www.icmcc2006.org/> .

We invite you to submit papers for the following themes. 

 

1.	Information supply to patient and professional. 
The way we supply information towards patients, but also towards
professionals is most probably going to be one of the major safety
threats
of the near future. For patients it is not possible to recognize the
value
of the information available on the internet, nor can he see if that
information is biased in any way. For professionals the problems with
information supply can be found in the immense amount of publications
and
the vast spread over many sources. Therefore we would like to focus
our
attention in this track on the following aspects: 


*	How to trace new issues (events, etc) 

*	How to validate information 

*	How to find (validated) information 

*	How to relate (validated) information (e.g. semantics) 

*	How to present (validated) information (e.g. user-interfaces,
user-interaction, language, cultural aspects) 

*	How to share (validated) information 

*	Knowledge management, e-science, grid technology, e-networking
and
other related aspects. 

2.	Electronic health records, its standards, its social
implications. 
Although many technical issues concerning EHR standards and the
reference
terminology involved are still under discussion, ICMCC would like to
focus
on further implications of electronic health records: 


*	Patient safety and involvement 

*	Security 

*	(hospital) management consequences 

*	Interoperability 

*	Other related aspects, e.g. social records, archiving,
insurance. 

3.	Developments in Medical & Care Compunetics
With the aim of being the worlds leading one-stop shop on vision,
policy,
technology and methodology for patient centered healthcare the
International
Council on Medical & Care Compunetics (ICMCC) is the leading event
that
targets topical issues from a broad perspective placed in the context
of
current policy but always with the patient as the focus.
Authors are encouraged to focus their contributions from a patients
perspective and covering the following the topics: 


*	e-health 

*	telemedicine 

*	telehomecare 

*	assistive technology 

*	We would like to invite European Health Projects to present
papers
and reports on the status quo of their work. 

For an extended list of topics please refer to
