Springer LNAI 5943 Knowledge Representation for Health Care Web: book, contents, Springer |
Summary: This book is the result of
merging two workshops series, namely one on computerized guidelines and
protocols and the other one on knowledge management for health care
procedures. The merge resulted in the KR4HC workshop: Knowledge
Representation for Health-Care: Data, Processes, and Guidelines. This
workshop was held in conjunction with the 12th Conference on Artificial
Intelligence in Medicine (AIME 09), held in Verona, Italy. The book
included, in addition to the full-length workshop papers, invited
peer-reviewed advanced papers on lessons learned in these fields.

The Banzai Group in La Vanguardia December 10, 2009. |
Summary: the reseach Group on
Artificial Intelligence (Banzai)
at the Rovira i Virgili University was funded in 1998, since then their
members have been working in the application of computer-based
knowledge management technologies to medicine. This press article
summarizes the past, the present and the future of the group.

Workshop at AIME Knowledge Representation for Health Care Web: workshop, AIME09 |
Summary: As computerised health-care support systems are rapidly becoming more knowledge intensive, the representation of medical knowledge in a form that enables reasoning is growing in relevance and taking a more central role in the area of medical informatics. In order to achieve a successful decision-support and knowledge management approach to medical knowledge representation, the scientific community has to provide efficient representations, technologies, and tools to integrate all the important elements that physicians work with: electronic health records and health-care information systems, clinical practice guidelines and standardized medical technologies, codification standards, etc. Synergies to integrate the above mentioned elements and types of knowledge must be sought both in the medical problems (e.g., prevention, diagnosis, therapy, prognosis, etc.) and also in the CS and AI technologies (e.g., natural language processing, digital libraries, knowledge representation, knowledge integration and merging, decision support systems, machine learning, e-learning, etc.). |

Summary: LNAI
5626 contains extended versions of 10 accepted papers of the ECAI
Workshop K4HelP'08 together with two invited papers. It is structured
in three sections: technologies to manage health care procedural
knowledge, methodologies to manage health care procedural knowledge,
and computer systems to manage health care procedural knowledge.

Workshop at ECAI Knowledge Management for Health Care Processes Web: workshop, ECAI08 |
Summary: E-health is a
challenging topic that has deserved much attention at the scientific,
technological, political, and social levels in Europe and worldwide.
The
introduction of new technologies in healthcare centers and national
systems is interpreted by medical doctors as a first approach to the
introduction of healthcare e-Services, and ultimately to the
development of knowledge-based healthcare e-services.
From a medical point of view, healthcare processes are about preventive, diagnostic, therapeutic, and prognostic tasks. This workshop is concerned about the sorts of knowledge these processes require, their formal representation and exploitation, the elicitation of these sorts of knowledge, their mutual interaction and with other typical healthcare IT as Electronic Healthcare Records and Healthcare Computer Systems. Knowledge Management for Healthcare Processes is a new workshop in a series of workshops and publications devoted to the formalization, organization, and deployment of procedural knowledge in healthcare. Previous workshops and publications have been the IEEE CBMS 2007 special track on "Machine Learning and Management of Healthcare Procedural Knowledge", the AIME 2007 workshop entitled "From Medical Knowledge to Global Healthcare", and Springer's LNCS4924. |

K2C Workshop at AIME From Knowledge to Global Health Care Web: workshop, AIME07 |
Summary: When applied to medicine, Artificial Intelligence traditionally aims at providing solutions to concrete medical problems in decision support in diagnosis, treatment or prognosis, but never to support health care as a whole multi-disciplinary collaborative and multi-located process. Knowledge is, surely, a central component in the construction of future Information Society Technologies (IST) health care systems that shall be sustained on the combination of several components as computer-interpretable versions of bio-medical Ontologies, Electronic Health Care Records, and Clinical Practice Guidelines. |

Special track at CBMS Machine Learning and Management of Health-Care Procedural Knowledge Web: track, CBMS07 |
Summary: Health Informatics (HI) has
progressed to become the field that
applies Computer Science technologies, resources, devices and methods
to health and biomedicine in order to deal with the requirements of
data and information; including, for example, health-care Data Bases
and Electronic Health-Care Records. The evolution of fields like
Knowledge Management (KM) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) is extending
this definition of HI with the capability of computers to represent,
acquire, validate and use health-care knowledge, starting a process
that will make Information Society to evolve towards a knowledge
society in the forthcoming years. |
