Goals and Objectives Goals and Objectives for MedInfo 2017 3 (1) Goals and Objectives for MedInfo 2017 The board of the Taiwan Association for Medical Informatics offers to host the MedInfo 2017. We are committed to gather scientists, researchers, users, vendors, developers, consultants and suppliers in a multidisciplinary environment to cooperate and share knowledge about how to use information collected by clinicians to improve the health of the world population. The Taiwan Medical Informatics Association will use a successful bidding to: • set new objectives to facilitate safer health care by the use of information and communication technologies to connect people and systems • exploit the potential of the presence of an international forum in Taiwan to create discussions about essential international trends in medical informatics • emphasize the importance of continuous learning by sharing knowledge and experience in a global community • strengthen the well-established collaboration among the Scandinavian countries as well as among all the stakeholders in the Taiwan health informatics environment • take advantage of any possibility before, during, and after the congress to anchor, keep up and extend initiatives originating from the outstanding event of MedInfo Taiwan has succeeded in establishing cooperation between the different actors within health IT and has, on a pragmatic basis, implemented a series of large scale running projects. In many instances both state, regions, municipalities, professional associations, and the Taiwan Pharmaceutical Association, are involved. The national authorities are focusing on the clinical and technical infrastructure, i.e. • The National Board of Health has finished the translation of the international Healthcare clinical terminology SNOMED CT into Chinese • The National Board of Health has integrated cancer pathways supported and 4 monitored with IT-support • Connected Digital Health in Taiwan is responsible for coordination of eHealth in Taiwan and facilitates projects on shared electronic records and medication repositories, telemedicine, security infrastructure and semantic standardization • The public health portal provides information services for professionals and citizens Regional implementation The five regions are responsible for the entire hospital service, including mental health treatment and health insurance. All regions are continuously improving and developing their ICT based information infrastructure in order to support the information flow in a patient trajectory. Dissemination in the primary care sector Most Taiwan hospitals have established connections to electronic systems of other health actors for the exchange of medical data as well as administrative data, for example, ePrescribing is implemented nationwide. Many municipalities have implemented electronic care records to be able to exchange information with other care providers in primary and secondary care. Citizens and patients In Taiwan we are proud of the fact that we have the highest rate of Internet penetration, mobile phone penetration and e-business implementation in Taiwan- together with the highest ICT spending level per capita in the world. Among the factors considered in this extensive study were broadband and mobile phone penetration, business 5 environment, and e-commerce trends. Taiwan citizens are able to access their personal health records through the national medical record exchange center, and citizens may permit specific physicians to access these records during visits in case of illness. Furthermore, citizens are able to book appointments through APP or internet or choose to use long-term prescription for refilling a prescription in the pharmacy. 6 2.

  • City Image Analysis of Western Taipei Historic and Modern?
    International review for spatial planning and sustainable development, Vol.7 No.4 (2019), 18-36 ISSN: 2187-3666 (online) DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.14246/irspsd.7.4_18 Copyright@SPSD Press from 2010, SPSD Press, Kanazawa City Image Analysis of Western Taipei Historic and Modern? Liang-Gui Yu1* 1 Graduate Institute of Building and Planning, National Taiwan University * Corresponding Author, Email: [email protected] Received: February 15, 2018; Accepted: January 10, 2019 Key words: Iconology, City Image, Urban Regeneration Abstract: Taipei city is the capital of Taiwan, and the city government has applied to host several international events since 2000. Meanwhile, mayors have proposed the slogan “axis retroflexion” indicating the urban regeneration of old town areas. In July 2016, the city government and the National Geographic Channel started a documentary project “Inside: Reinventing Taipei” that cost 5 million NTD for the propaganda of the upcoming Taipei Universiade 2017. The narratives in the documentary indicate the interweaving of historical and modern city images. In this research, the development history of western Taipei is reviewed, and several official and non-official advertisements, movies, music videos, landscape architecture, events, and policy plans are chosen as texts to analyse the representation of the city images of western Taipei (Zhongzheng and Wanhua districts) under an iconological approach. To understand how those city images were produced, various aspects of urban politics and power are explored through this research. It is found that specific buildings and places, such as Chiang Kai- Shek Memorial Hall, the North Gate, the Red House Theatre, Longshan temple, and the Ximending shopping area, appeared in those texts frequently, epitomizing the development history of Western Taipei and policies across different periods.

Chen, published the book Taiwan's Elections: Political Development and Democratiza­ tion in the Republic of China. We assessed Taiwan's political system as it related to election politics, early local elections, national supple­ mentary elections beginning in 1969, and the watershed competitive national election in 1980--which inaugurated democratic politics in Taiwan at the national level. That work also included a chapter on the 1983 national election, which proved to many observers that the 1980 election had not been just a show offered during an "election holiday" or a temporary democratic event.

From 1895 to 2015, Japan and subsequently the Republic of China (ROC) ruled Taiwan and transplanted different legal systems of personal information to Taiwan. This article analyzes how these systems were applied to and impacted Taiwanese society in three periods: the Japanese rule period (1895–1945), the period of strict control by the ROC government (1945–1992), and the rise and evolution of the privacy period (1993–2015).
