Half year report of IMIA WG1, 6th WG1 Conference in 1997, name of WG1

Dear Jean Raoul:First of all I have to thank you for your most encouraging letter on the activities of WQ1 . Attached please find

the half year report requested as well as the list of WG1 members. As there have only been slightchanges to my report prepared for the Yearbook of Medical Informatics 1996, 1 have taken this report and haveadded som additional comments at the beginning. I will bring 80 copies of this report to the next meeting of theGeneral Assembly.

Please let me report about two other Issues of WG1 .As you know, Wendy Swinkels and I were preparing a first proposal for a 6th IMIA WG1 conference on

health and medical Informatics education as satellite conference following the Health Informatics 97Conference of HISA and APAMI on August 11-13 1997 at Sidney, Australia. We have the possibility to run theworking conference at the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences in Newcastle, a lovely city about 100 milesnorth of Sidney. A proposal is also attatched. It will be distributed on our next WG1 meeting on Monday, August19th. A first SPC meeting Is also planned on this Monday. I would like to report about this conference on the IMIAgeneral assembly, preferably on Friday, as I cannot attend the assembly on Saturday. We got a lot ofencouragement to prepare such a conference, besides from you e.g. from IMIA president Otto Rienhorf, IMIApast president Marion Ball and APAMI president K.C. Lun. As I had no other possibility to have the WG1 and theSPC meeting during MIE, it is my hope that we can have an approval by the general assembly afterwards.

The next topic is, that the name of IMIA WG1 (Information Science and Medical Education) does, in myopinion, no more fit appropriately to the objectives of WG1 (cf. the WG1 description for the Yearbook 96). ( willdiscuss on the next WG1 meeting, whether we should propose to the IM1A General Assembly to rename WG1.My proposal for an appropriate name of WG1 is: Health and Medical Informatics Education. I also wouldlike to raise this topic on the general assembly on Friday, depending on the votes of the WG1 members on ourmeeting on August 19th.

I am very much hoping that you as the WG1 representative of Switzerland will have the time to come to theWG1 meeting on August 19th. Otherwise I will meet you on Thursday, August 22nd, on the meeting of the IMiAworking group and special interest group chairs and I will then ask for yor advice.

I am very much looking forward to meet you at Copenhagen.

Yours sincerely,
