Please find the call for papers for the ICMCC Event 2008, the annual conference of the International Council on Medical & Care Compunetics – ICMCC (www.icmcc.org).

For its fifth annual event, ICMCC will focus on the power of information. Information is both the result of data put to use and, once combined with experience, the basis of knowledge. If used properly it can empower patients, both actively and passively.
Information is one of the primordial aspects of medical and care compunetics, the field of social, societal and ethical aspects of computing and networking.
Therefore information related aspects will be at the core of the 2008 event program and this call for papers.

The main themes of the conference are:
Electronic Health Record (EHR) Approaches
Patient Record Access
Compunetics
Data- , Information-, Knowledge Management

Authors are encouraged to focus their contributions from a patient’s perspective.

Accepted papers will be published in “Medical and Care Compunetics 5” (IOS Press - "Studies in Health Technology and Informatics"), available at the conference.

Papers can be sent as mail attachments to 2008@icmcc.org mentioning "Event paper" in the subject line before February 18, 2008.
