A wide spectrum of actual topics in bio-informatics, including both medical and bio-medical informatics, is addressed by MIE (Medical Informatics Europe), the leading annual conference in Europe dealing with telematics in health care. The main theme in this publication is the development of connections between bio-informatics and medical informatics. Tools and concepts from both disciplines can complement each other. Information derived at the molecular level influences patient care processes. New bridges must be built. For this purpose, a panel of high level scientists was invited to particip

Faced with the growing complexity of medicine, medical computing appears as an indispensible integrating element, be it for the management, the sharing, ot the communication of medical data and knowledge. This work presents both the methodology and the applications of this technology. Hardware and software tools for managing medical information, as well as the medical information itself (data types, reasoning, semantics) are developed in the initial chapters. The various application spheres are explored next: data- and knowledge-bases, hospital information systems, computerized medical records

Nurses are constantly involved with projects; staff nurses develop plans of care, nurse managers determine projected staffing patterns, staff development instructors create courses, informatics nurses implement software applications. The project management process can be utilized to facilitate these and many other nursing projects. Project Management for Healthcare Informatics will provide an explanation of the project management process tailored for nurses through its use of real clinical examples. In the first chapters, the project management process will be described in detail along with i
