Our hospital people are having some difficulty coming up with a uniform nomenclature for injection sites to use in the new clinical information system that is being implemented. Is there some standard set of terms that refers to defined anatomical landmarks like muscles by name or some naming system for injection sites that is completely clear for everyone? I have not found anything in procedure manuals, textbooks, dictionaries, MeSH, CINAHL headings, etc etc that is complete and detailed enough to satisfy all users. They are thinking of having an anatomical diagram with the locations numbered within the system but still need to have descriptors attached to each numbered location.

One of the things we'd like to do to improve the value of this group for one another is to coordinate some panels to discuss topics of interest at this year's ASIST. With this year's theme focused on the intersection between IS and practice, there are some great opportunities. Some of the ideas currently being tossed around include a joint panel on the potential effects of consumer-created health vocabularies, health-related information seeking, and a doctoral student paper competition. All of these are just the seeds of ideas and we're looking for ideas and suggestions from you. Many of these ideas can be pursued in cooperation with other SIGs. If you have an idea for a panel, or you'd like to contribute in any way, please let us know. We'll do whatever we can to facilitate it. Post ideas or comments to the list or, if you prefer, email me or any of the SIG-MED board (the new board is listed below). The official ASIST call for participation can be found at: http://www.asis.org/Conferences/AM07/am07cfp.html On a related note, we'd like to turn the mailing list into a more valuable source of current happenings in the field, including conferences, relevant topics, job opportunities, grants, etc. Many of us regularly receive information posted in related fields that might be relevant to this group (whether through lists from JESSE, AMIA, ALA, NIH, NLM, etc.). If you find something that you think might be helpful to this crowd, please help us keep one another informed. To post a message to the list, send an email to: sigmed-l at asis.org Finally, there are several newer members to ASIST that are working on health-related issues that aren't aware of this SIG.

Hosted by the University of Sheffield, ISHIMR 2007 brings together people who are carrying out, or are interested in, research and progress in health information management and health informatics. ISHIMR 2007 provides a forum for the presentation and discussion of research activities in health information management and health informatics. ISHIMR 2007 is a response to identifying opportunities and challenges regarding the application of modern information management and informatics technology to provide technology- mediated solutions to healthcare practice and delivery issues faced by all stakeholders--i.e. healthcare professionals, managers, planners, patients and the public. The multi-disciplinary field of healthcare is a massive generator and user of information and knowledge. Effective management and exploitation of this critical resource is fundamental to the effectiveness of all groups and individuals in this field, at strategic, management and operational levels. We therefore welcome paper submissions and delegates from the international healthcare community, particularly those with teaching/research responsibilities in health information management and health informatics, with clinical responsibilities, and those involved in provision of information and knowledge services. The conference spans three days, and is an excellent opportunity for you to meet other health information academics and professionals from all over the world, creating an opportunity for networking, collaboration, and international knowledge sharing. A centre for excellence in health information management, the University of Sheffield is located in the heart of England, where you?ll find the beauty of the nearby Peak District National Park, a vibrant city undergoing revitalization with excellent hotels, restaurants, and shopping. The conference will be hosted in the St. Paul?s hotel in the heart of the city centre, within easy walking distance of shops, restaurants, and the University. Papers may be submitted reporting on research in any area of health information management or health informatics. We particularly welcome papers which address the conference theme, "From research to development to implementation: challenges in health informatics and health information management ". Areas include, but are not restricted to, health information management and informatics research involving: ?Knowledge management in healthcare ?Information needs and information behaviours within health ?Interventions to improve the use of health and medical information ?Evidence-based health and social care ?Applications of GIS in public health ?Patient empowerment and patient education programs ?Healthcare information management systems ?e-Health ?Home monitoring and care systems ?Mobile health ?Telemedicine and telecare ?Telesystems and applications for support of care ?Knowledge Discovery in health and medical databases ?Implementing and managing clinical practice guidelines and clinical pathways ?Knowledge sharing in healthcare organizations and communities of practice ?Clinical decision support systems ?Health and healthcare ontologies ?Semantic interoperability ?Health and medical applications for data mining ?GRID applications ?Biomedical text mining ?Privacy, security, confidentiality and protection of healthcare information ?HCI issues of health care applications ?Health/Medical informatics training and education ?Principles and practices of project management for health systems implementation ?Evaluation of health information systems For more information, please visit the ISHIMR website at: http://dagda.shef.ac.uk/ishimr07/index.html We look forward to meeting you in Sheffield in July for what promises to be a most stimulating and enjoyable event!

To: sigmed-l at asis.org I did a search on NLM's LocatorPlus using advanced search: atlases as MeSH Subjects AND injections as MeSH Subjects 17 items were returned including Atlas of Pain Management Injections Techniques by Waldman. A book review of the 2000 edition (there's apparently a 2007 edition coming out) at www.anesthesia-analgesia.org/cgi/content/full/92/1/284 says the text is divided into eight sections: Head and Neck, Shoulder Elbow and Forearm Wrist and Hand Chest Wall Trunk, Back, and Abdomen Hip and Pelvis Knee and Lower Extremity Ankle and Foot Of course, this isn't all injections and not a standard. Maybe other atlases can be used for neural therapy, spine injections, etc. The first item returned by Locatorplus search might be promising: Atlas of image-guided intervention in regional anesthesia and pain medicine by Rathmell.

For now I'll put it up as a simple web page grouped by general categories. If it helps, some of the general categories I imagine we'll have include portals, academic, international, industry news, standards, etc. So if you have a resource you frequent that might be helpful to your fellow colleagues, please send it along. This is a great chance for our medical librarians to share some treasured sources with our industry folks, our bio folks with our clinical folks, our systems-oriented people with our sociologically-oriented people, and so on and so on.
