I attended this meeting (representing my Terminology Central colleagues), along with Tim Churches (NSW Health) and Graeme Miller (Family Medicine Research Centre) and Colleen Brookes (newly appointed medication terminology manager at NEHTA).
Excellent presentations from students working at the edge of computer language management technologies. Some interesting pilot work in health settings. Australia is fortunate to have a centre like this with research interests in a critical area. Would encourage health informaticians with an interest in terminology and language analysis to keep an eye on what is happening here and participate if possible - a centre like this needs clinical informatics input to augment the IT and language technology skills. The issue was raised about how research and capacity development like this can be funded and supported. I am sure that a small proportion of the funding granted by the Commonwealth and States to support consistent availability and implementation of terminology should be used to support education, research, capacity building and participation in international terminology development activities. I hope that Jon will post the presentations, particularly the one dealing with the research interests and projects coming up to generate further interest. Perhaps the next showcase could be by webinar to allow greater involvement.
