MIXHS 2011 - Managing Interoperability and Complexity in Health Systems (MIXHS’11)

MIXHS’11, will be a forum focussing on the latest advances in bio-medical semantics and electronic health information & knowledge management research. 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) standardisation of clinical classifications, large scale biomedical terminologies and ontologies development (i.e. SNOMED CT), (iii) the standardisation of clinical information transfer formats (i.e. HL7) and (iv) structuring of clinical documents (Clinical Document Architecture, CDA & EHR). The workshop will provide a forum for sharing design and implementation solutions for managing clinical data and integrating current and future e-health systems infrastructures.
