Aim and Scope
Globalisation is a trans-national process, in Europe and wider. Globalisation process crosses borders, connects people and causes profound and complex changes in the societies. These changes affect people, their activities and their health. Intensive movement of people implies their sinking into different environments, different countries and different healthcare systems. To ensure effective health care for all the citizens, the cooperation of variety of health systems is needed. “Bad medical informatics can kill the patient”, but good medical informatics can make him/her be safe.

Visiting a physician is the first step in health care. In some health care systems the first patient’s visit and primary intervention will be made in primary health care. Other systems have different organization. Medical or health record is a basis for primary intervention, for exchanging information about a patient within the health system, and for other more specific health care interventions. For exchanging patient’s information across different health care systems, standardization and cooperation of all participants is needed. Safety, security and ethics should also not be neglected.

EFMI STC 2007, carrying on the traditional series of EFMI Special Topic Conferences, is one of the most international and national events in the common sphere of medicine and informatics. Its major goal is to increase interaction and collaboration among professionals from both health and IT.
