CBMS
2005, co-sponsored by Science Foundation Ireland; Department of Computer
Science, Trinity College Dublin; and the IEEE Computer Society (Technical
Committee on Computational Medicine, TCCM), is the 18th formal
meeting committed to formulating and advancing methods, techniques and
tools for computer-based medical systems.
CBMS 2005 is intended to provide an international forum for discussing the latest results in the field of computational medicine. The symposium is dedicated to a broad arena of issues which relate computing to medicine. Over the past three decades there has been a rapidly growing interest by Governments and healthcare providers, of most industrialised countries, to improve access and the quality of healthcare. The motivation for such research has been generated by many factors relating to the changing demographics in populations for example the increasing proportion of the elderly in the population and increased longevity, improved medical technologies and rising health aspirations by the general population. The aim of this track is to consider the latest research in modelling patient care and resources within a healthcare system using intelligent computational and modeling techniques.The
purpose of the present special track is to encourage the development of
intelligent patient management systems from a CBMS perspective. Accordingly,
it will bring together academic and industrial researchers with experts
from the healthcare and medical fields to discuss the latest advances in
modeling patient care and resource management.
Topics of interest to the Intelligent Patient Management track include but are not limited to: Healthcare Information Systems, Decision Support Systems, Artificial Intelligence and Management Science techniques, and possible hybrid approaches that include statistical techniques. Applications
of particular interest include but are not restricted to: the modeling
of patient flow in hospital and the healthcare system in general, the modeling
of healthcare interventions, and the management of patient care, the allocation
of resources, healthcare expenditure and performance. For further details
