<p><span class="black10">AMIA大会10月份又要胜利召开了,这是美国与HIMSS齐名的医学信息学研讨会。与HIMSS不同的是,它的发起者主要来自学术界,讨论主题关注医学信息学基础理论和应用研究,而非产品推介等商业化活动。</span></p><p><span class="black10">如果对医学信息学基础研究感兴趣的学者可以多关注</span></p><p><span class="black10"><div class="red12b" align="center">Why Attend the AMIA 2005 Annual Symposium?</div><br /><br />Charles P. Friedman<br />Scientific Program Committee Chair<br />AMIA 2005 Annual Symposium<br /><br /><img src="http://www.amia.org/meetings/annual/current/images/friedman.jpg" border="0" onclick="javascript:window.open(this.src);" alt="" style="CURSOR: pointer" onload="javascript:if(this.width>screen.width-500)this.style.width=screen.width-500;" /> With unbounded pride in the accomplishments of our field to date and excitement about what we will accomplish together in the future, I invite you to the AMIA 2005 Annual Symposium and present, in this brochure, a first look at the meeting program. This year’s symposium occurs amidst the suddenly widespread recognition that biomedicine is indeed an information science, a recognition heard from the White House to every hospital and clinic, and the wetlabs of individual biologists across the country and around the world. A general awakening has occurred that the health and safety of individuals and populations depend on access to and management of valid information. Health care providers, biomedical researchers, educators, public health professionals, planners and policy makers, and consumers of health care all require excellent support through information technology and, increasingly, cannot conceive of doing without it.<br /><br />The AMIA 2005 Annual Symposium is for everyone concerned with fulfilling the great promise and rising expectations of information technology in biomedicine and health. Fulfilling this promise is difficult and is a science unto itself. Collectively, we do not yet know how to derive maximum benefit from clinical information systems, practice “genomic medicine”, or build a national health information infrastructure. There are myriad problems that need to be solved. To these ends, AMIA 2005 will bring together those who are developing the new foundational methods and approaches, those who are putting these approaches to work in functioning information resources and studying their value, and those concerned with formulation of policies that will make possible the deployment and integration of these resources.<br /><br />The vision of AMIA 2005 will be framed by the keynote address of Dr. Elias Zerhouni, Director of the US National Institutes of Health. A radiologist by training, Dr. Zerhouni has envisioned the role of biomedical computing in research and health care through his pioneering “NIH Roadmap”. Subsequent plenary sessions and panels—including presentations by Dr. David Brailer and the four directors of the new National Centers for Biomedical Computing—will develop these themes in detail. The meeting will feature over 175 stringently peer-reviewed papers and 250 poster presentations representing the best and latest research in informatics applied to health care, biomedical research, and the education of health professionals. Twenty-nine tutorials, addressing key foundational and applied topics, will be offered by renowned experts. Workshops, exhibitions, system demonstrations, and “meet the expert” sessions complete the program.<br /><br />AMIA 2005 provides the opportunity to listen and to speak: to learn and to grow. It is simultaneously a meeting about important ideas and how to put these ideas into practice, a meeting to uncover what is known and identify what is needed. I look forward to seeing you there.<br /></span></p>Charles P.
