Planning criteria for multicentre, multilingual telemedicine conferences.

The international telemedicine conference Chinese TeleMed 96 was held in November 1996. This three-way teleconference included delegates in London (where the international telemedicine conference TeleMed 96 was taking place) and medical staff from one Beijing hospital and one Hong Kong medical faculty. In total, over 1000 health-care personnel across eight time-zones participated. The event demonstrated that the quality of teleconferencing technology was suitable for medical teaching, for providing medical consultations to remote locations and for stimulating medical exchanges. In general, planning a telemedicine conference requires a longer lead time, a wider representation of expertise in the organizing committee and more financial resources than conventional conferences. It is recommended that the aim and format of a telemedicine conference be determined at least one year before the target date. Criteria for improving the preparation of such conferences have been identified and a set of guidelines for future conference organizers has been drawn up.

EPA2000: a multilingual, programmable computer assessment of off-line metacognition in children with mathematical-learning disabilities.

EPA2000 is a program for the assessment of off-line measured metacognitive skills and arithmetical performances in primary school children with mathematical-learning disabilities. The program is designed as a script engine. The concept makes it possible to modify and translate the test into different languages without reprogramming. A user-friendly script editor is built-in, with which all of the parameters of the test can be modified and translated in different languages.

Multilingual approach to ICD10: on the need for a source reference database.

The distribution of ICD10 is of concern for thousand of developers in numerous countries. The absence of some basic features to facilitate the transfer and consequently to augment the quality of the delivered version is a constant characteristic. Errors, ambiguities, missing terms, unrecognised attributes are quite common, despite the efforts of some national centres doing their best to fill this gap. For other countries and languages, where such centres do not exist or do not have sufficient resources, this problem is even stronger. A reference ICD database is clearly a need today. The following features are to be made available out of an ICD database: exact count of terms, whether they are systematic, include, exclude or daggers and asterisks pairs, eventually at chapter level; exact count of notes, references and indirect exclusions; recommended structure of relational tables for ICD representation; basic structure of the classification at any level of detail. These features are somewhat language dependant and should be repeated for each one. This paper demonstrates the benefits of publishing such ICD reference information in order to improve the future ICD tools to be developed in numerous countries.
