The conference is represented by 12 full papers on nursing and care process, electronic patient records, and ICT assessment. Among their topics are the added value of a process oriented hospital information system supporting integrated patient care, quality of care assessment using the electronic patient records of general practitioners and whether data from home visit is needed, and how introducing an operating room information management system improved overall operating room efficiency. Abstracts are provided for four papers presented at the application session. Five additional articles document the Telematics@health.be Fifth Symposium, held jointly with the conference. They describe the development of standards by the Belgian commission Norms for Telematics in the Health Care Sector. Annotation ©2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
