NI2014 - 12th International Congress of Nursing Informatics
NI 2014, the 12th International Congress on Nursing Informatics, will be held at the Taipei International Convention Center (very near to Taipei 101) on June 21-25, 2014. The call for submissions is now open - see http://wp.me/pvCUS-1IM and http://www.ni2014.org

 We ask all IMIA Member Societies and other members, and nursing/informatics organisations to publicise this call and event. The NI Congress is held on behalf of the IMIA-NI SIG (Nursing Informatics Special Interest Group)

The theme of the conference is “eSmart + ” where “e” stands for eHealth, “S” implies simplicity, “m” represents mobility and meaningful use, “a” denotes advanced leadership, “r” indicates revolution, “t” means translational technologies, and “+” symbolizes People Leading uCare Safely. The acronym is also used to convey the idea of adopting smart technology to help health providers deliver higher quality care. The call for submissions is open, and will close 15 September 2013. Decisions will be notified by mid-December 2013. For detailed information, including precise dates for the Call, see the conference website at www.ni2014.org

Medinfo2013 - Proceedings Available Online, Open Access
Medinfo2013 is over. However, the conference proceedings are freely available online and in open access form through the IOS Press website. See http://ebooks.iospress.nl/volume/medinfo-2013-proceedings-of-the-14th-world-congress-on-medical-and-health-informatics (or http://bit.ly/171Qv58)

This model for Medinfo proceedings is new. The feedback so far has been very positive. We invite additional feedback on this new initiative for IMIA conference proceedings, to help improve things as we now quickly turn towards work on Medinfo2015.

Report from the IMIA General Assembly (GA) Meeting 2013
A short set of notes on key issues from the 2013 IMIA GA has been sent to all GA members. Without repeating all the items (some of which will appear in expanded form on the IMIA news site), highlights included:

Two new Member Societies were admitted to IMIA (bringing the total to 60): 
Colombian Association of Health Informatics (Asociación Colombiana de Informática en Salud – ACIESA) 
Kenya Health Informatics Association (KeHIA) 
The Centre for Health Informatics, City University, London, UK was reinstated as an Academic Institutional Member.

The IMIA Award of Excellence for 2013 was made to Prof. Dr Reinhold Haux. The certificate was presented by Prof. Hyeoun-Ae Park, as a member of the award committee, during the closing session of Medinfo2013. Reinhold gave a talk entitled "On determining factors for good research in biomedical and health informatics: some lessons learned". A paper based on his talk will be available soon.

IMIA Yearbook: The GA approved the final proposal for the IMIA Yearbook to become open access, and entirely online, from 2014. We will provide further information once we have completed final contractual arrangements with Schattauer as the publisher.

IMIA Official Journals Policy: The GA approved a new official journals (and endorsed journals) policy for IMIA.

Nominating Committee: The GA agreed to formalise a wider process of consultation and seeking nominations for IMIA Board positions.

IMIA Working Group of the Year Award: The 2012 Award was made to the Social Media Working Group. The next award will be made (based on 2013 activities) at the 2014 GA meeting.

New IMIA Board; First Nurse to be IMIA President
New President-elect: The GA approved the nomination of Prof. Hyeoun-Ae Park (Korea) as the new President-elect. She holds this post with immediate effect, until Medinfo2015. She then becomes IMIA President for the period from Medinfo2015 to Medinfo2017. She will be the third IMIA President from the Asia-Pacific region (following Prof. Shigekoto Kaihara and Prof. K C Lun), the third woman to be IMIA President (following Dr Marion Ball and Prof. Nancy Lorenzi), and the first nurse to be IMIA President.
