Advances in Medical Informatics
Numerous experts in hospitals, universities, research institutes, industry and health agencies responded to the call of the commission of the European Communities for project proposals in the field of research and development of medical informatics, the AIM Exploratory Action. AIM is the acronym for Advanced Informatics in Medicine. The main objective of the AIM Programme is to further the usage of information technology and telecommunications in health care in the Community.

Syntactic-Semantic Tagging of Medical Texts
This book summarises the achievements of the Multi-TALE project, that aims at developing a syntactic-semantic tagger-lemmatiser that assist lexicolo-gist in a multilingual environment to automatically classify specialised terms in a standardisation perspective. Its intended audience consists of (mainly) two distinct groups: on the one hand the computational linguists, who are sometimes desperately seeking an appropriate application involving real life data for their implemented prototypes, and on the other hand medical E.D.P. managers (doctors or computer scientists), who are sometimes looking equally desperately for methods that would facilitate their information retrieval and knowledge processing tasks. Therefore, this book contains a concise introduction to the relevant linguistic and medical topics required for an overall comprehension of its other parts. Inevita-bly, some notions are already well known by one group of readers but completely new to the other group. We have aimed at striking a good balance so that no reader becomes rapidly bored or discouraged.

Case Mix
The case mix concept has been introduced in the USA more than twenty years ago in order to measure hospital productivity and to promote quality of care. The DRGs were selected by HCFA in 1983 as the case mix classification system for the MEDICARE prospective payment system (PPS). Many other countries have adopted the case mix concept after long periods of testing and accepting, but with large variations in data collection, information standards, grouping tools, financing methods and quality of care developments all over the world. Each country has developed a local clinical and political culture about case mix tools. The present book is intended to update the case mix situation, country by country.

Health Data in the Information Society
MIE 2002 is the XVIIth international conference of the European Federation of Medical Informatics. Today, mankind builds up the information society, enabled by the underlying rapid development in computer technology. The significance of the spread of the internet is comparable to the significance of Gutenberg's invention. On one hand it both helps dissemination of data and knowledge and sharing of ideas. On the other hand the achievements may divide the society, as did non-literacy deprive many people from knowledge throughout centuries. Today millions of people are isolated from an incredibly large amount of information because of "computer non-literacy," and a new elite mastering the infor...
