[AK-MI] call for papers for STC2010

[Elske Ammenwerth]

Dear collegue,

 I want to draw your attention to a EFMI  Special Topic Conference* in

Reykjavik, Iceland on  June 2 - 4  2010 
Seamless care - safe care
The Challenges of Interoperability and Patient Safety in Health Care 

The conference  will explore the challenges facing  electronic exchange
of 
health information, particularly interoperability of systems and it´s 
implication for patient safety and continuity of care. Participants are

invited to reflect on the levels laid out by the EU recommenation of
2008 
on  interoperability of electronic health record systems, namely the 
political level, the organisational level, the technical level, the 
semantic level and the level of education and awareness raising. 
The issue of traceability as an important facilitator for
interoperability 
and safety will be highlighted in the conference by a special workshop

jointly organized by HL7 and GS1. 
It is our aim to bring together professionals from a wide range of 
disciplines. The form of presentations will be varied and exciting with

keynotes and papers as well as as workshops reporting project status or

expert panel discussions on specific subjects. 

This is a unique opportunity to attend an exciting conference and at
the 
same time experience the beautiful Icelandic nature.
