This paper reflects the ongoing discussions among a few of the graqduate faculty at DIS/UNIFEST regarding what are valid graduate projects in Medical Informatics. This paper presents a taxonomy of academic (cientific) researches in Medical Informatics, which reflects our understanding of the international production in the area, as well as, current research and publication practicesin the área,...

In this paper, cloud resource broker using goalbased request in medical application is proposed. To handle recent huge production of digital images and data in medical informatics application, the cloud resource broker could be used by medical practitioner for proper process in discovering and selecting correct information and application. This paper summarizes several reviewed articles to rela...

The International Medical Informatics Association (IMIA) agreed on international recommendations in health informatics / medical informatics education. These should help to establish courses, course tracks or even complete programs in this field, to further develop existing educational activities in the various nations and to support international initiatives concerning education in health and ...

Medical informatics became a medical specialty during the last years and this is evidenced by a great amount of journal articles regarding the subject published worldwide. We compared the presentation of Medical Informatics in two different bibliographic databases: MEDLINE and LILACS (Latin American and Caribbean Literature on the Health Sciences). Previous studies described how Medical Informa...

This Workshop was designed to assist in the ongoing development and application of telemedicine and medical informatics to support extended space flight.

The Primary Care Informatics Working Group (PCIWG) of the American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA) has identified the absence of a national strategy for primary care informatics. Under PCIWG leadership, major national and international societies have come together to create the National Alliance for Primary Care Informatics (NAPCI), to promote a connection between the informatics communi...

The idea to convey researchers who applied natural language processing (NLP) methods to the medical domain and others who applied such methods to the bio-informatics domain is shared at different places. The European Commission will edit a white paper on potential synergies between medical informatics and bio-informatics before the end of 2002. The American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA...

In 1977, Reichertz has defined medical informatics from the viewpoint of information logistics: to provide the right information at the right time at the right place [1; 2]. The analysis of medical information and (bio-)signal processing contributes substantially to an improved information provision. Therefore, medical informatics is an applied science in the best sense of the word. The special...
