> Workshop Theme and Topics
> 
> 
> Managing Interoperability and Complexity in Health Systems, MIXHS¹11, aims to
> be a forum focusing on the latest advances in bio-medical and e-health
> knowledge and information management research. The workshop will provide an
> opportunity for sharing practical experiences and best practices in e-health
> information infrastructure development and management. It will gather experts,
> researchers, system developers, practitioners and policymakers designing and
> implementing solutions for managing clinical data and integrating current and
> future electronic-health systems infrastructures.
> 
> Issues of biomedical data-mining in large heterogeneous clinical data-sets,
> information retrieval and extraction in multiple medical repositories, the
> management of complexity and the coherent update of knowledge in medicine,
> clinical standards interoperability in distributed health systems and the
> patient Electronic Health Record (EHR) are now becoming critical to
> implementing enterprise and nationwide health systems.
> 
> Topics of interest will include knowledge management activities seeking to
> address these issues by: (i) using clinical data mining, information
> extraction and retrieval (ii) standardization of clinical classification (i.e.
> International Classification of Diseases, ICD), large scale biomedical
> terminologies and ontologies development (Systematized Nomenclature of
> Medicine Clinical Terms, SNOMED CT), (iii) the standardization of clinical
> information transfer formats (Health Level 7, HL7) and (iv) structuring of
> clinical documents (Clinical Document Architecture, CDA) and the electronic
> health records (EHR).
> 
> Topic of Interest include but are not limited to:
> * Bio-medical Data-Mining, Information retrieval and extraction and NLP on
> biomedical text 
> * Inference and statistical Models of diseases & Multi-morbidity
> * Clinical Information Retrieval, Management and Normalization
> * Medical Knowledge Representation and Reasoning, Expert and Clinical Decision
> Support Systems 
> * Interoperability in Distributed healthcare Systems
> * Clinical Information Standards (e.g. HL7) Clinical Terminologies,
> Classifications (e.g. ICD 10) and biomedical ontologies (e.g. SNOMED - CT)
> * Hospital Enterprise Information Management Systems, Electronic Health
> Record, (EHR), Clinical Document Architecture
> Submission
