Workshop of the International Conference on Biomedical Ontology (ICBO  
2011)
http://icbo.buffalo.edu/

July 26th 2011, Buffalo, USA


**** Scope ****

Reports of adverse events that occur during clinical trials and/or  
induced by medical interventions help to identify issues with the  
safety and efficacy of medical treatment, better educate health  
practitioners and the general public, and ultimately allow us to learn  
from our mistakes to increase patient safety. In order to enable more  
effective sharing of such reports, this workshop will address the  
question of what the ontological basis for adverse events is.

**** Topics ****

Papers about all aspects of adverse events are welcome at the  
workshop; including, but not
limited to the following topics:

- Adverse events representation systems
