The European Federation for Medical Informatics has established
itself as a regional body coordinating activity in medical
informatics. The Congress in Toulouse, MIE-81, from 9 - 13 March
1981, is the third congress in the ser ies following MIE-78 in
Cambr idge, and MIB-79 in Berlin with a gap during 1980 for the
world congress MEDINFO-80 in Tokyo. The rationale behind all these
congresses is the scientific need to share results and ideas and
the educational need to train a wide variety of professional staff
in the potential of health care and medical informatics. All the
caring professions are involved, doctors, scientists, nurses,
para-medical staff, administrators, health care planners, community
physicians, epidemiologists, statisticians, operations analysts
together with specialists from the computing profession dealing
with system analysis, hardware, software, languages, data-bases and
the marketing of systems. Medical Informatics is a very wide
subject with ramifications throughout the health care and
preventive services; it offers a key to the monitoring and
improvement of patient care and to the provision of a healthier
environment. The collection and evaluation of relevant data
improves our understanding of the ways in which health care is
provided while the availability of cheaper computer hardware and
more versatile software enables us to design and implement more
revealing and intelligent medical systems. Even though typical
systems take a substantial amount of time to design, implement and
evaluate, there is the continuing need for informaticians to assess
the current state of developmen.
