These papers highlight the current state-of-the-art of some aspects dealing with the main theme of the Congress, and present a through synthesis of key research and application issues. All accepted papers will be included in the printed proceedings and in electronic format.
Paper submissions must not exceed a maximum of five [21.0 x 29.7 cm: A4 size] pages (15 000 characters with spaces) including title, figures, tables and references, and must include:
- Abstract (max. 1 500 characters with spaces)
- The names, academic degree(s), affiliations, and locations (city, state, and country) of all authors
- Papers should be structured eg. Introduction, Objectives, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion and Conclusions
- The Tables and Figures should be counting max 2 200 characters with spaces and will be included in total number of characters.
- For the References follow the Vancouver style.
Scientific Demonstrations
Demonstrations are presented during program sessions, and most often illustrate one or more aspects of a leading-edge system that is in use, under development, or in the testing or prototype stage. Each demonstration is 30 minutes long, with an additional 15 minutes for audience questions and comments. Accepted demonstration submissions will be published in electronic format.
Demonstration submissions must not exceed one [21.0 x 29.7 cm: A4 size] page (3 000 characters with spaces) and must also include a title and:
- A one-paragraph summary (max. 600 characters with spaces), followed by the description of a specific features of the system, service, or project; the problems in nursing informatics practice, research, or education that it is designed to address ; and the purpose or features of the system, service, or product that make it particularly innovative;
- The names, academic degree(s), affiliations, and locations (city, state, and country) of the authors
- Note that demonstrations of commercial products will be accommodated in the Exhibit Hall.
Workshops
The Scientific Program Committee invites proposals for workshops as a means of promoting informal discussion among constituents sharing common interest. Workshops often serve as forum for encouraging proposals that will bring together individuals with different roles in developing, implementing, or using information technology that changes how we pursue health science or deliver nursing informatics. Workshops may include brief presentations by organizers, but direct, informal discussion is strongly encouraged. Workshops are two hours long. Accepted workshop submissions will be published in electronic format.
Workshops proposals must not exceed maximum of two [21.0 x 29.7 cm: A4 size] pages (6 000 characters with spaces) and must include a title and:
- An opening summary (max. 750 characters with spaces));
- A description of the proposed workshop, how it will be conducted, educational goals, and a description who should attend;
- The name(s), academic degree(s), affiliations, and locations (city, state and country) of all workshop instructors / speakers.
Panels
Panel proposals addressing a variety of areas of strategic interest are welcome. Topics may be on a specific aspect of health informatics theory, application, or experience, or may provide interdisciplinary viewpoint that cut across traditional tracks or themes. The NI 2009 Scientific Program Committee especially welcomes groups of discussants who hold opposing views on controversial topics about important informatics subjects, or who collectively represent perspectives from a variety of international viewpoints.
Panels of collaborators on a single project will be of least interest; such proposals would be better presented through a regular paper submission. Panel proposals will be published in electronic format. Ninety minutes will be dedicated to each panel, with 60 minutes for presentation and 30 minutes for follow-up discussions and questions. Accepted panel submissions will be published in electronic format.
Panel proposals must not exceed one [21.0 x 29.7 cm: A4 size] page (3 000 characters with spaces) and must include a title and:
- An opening summary (max. 600 characters with spaces):
- A well-defined topic, a statement of its importance to nursing informatics, a description of the dimensions and scope of the topic that will be explored by the panel, and the positions or special expertise that each panel member brings to the presentation;
- The name(s), academic degree(s), affiliations, and locations (city, state and country) of the panel organizer and other participants;
- A signed statement from the panel organizer that each participant has agreed to take part.
- Panels will be limited to five participants. An individual may organize only one panel, and may not participate in more than two panels.
Tutorials
Half-day and full-day tutorials are dedicated to an in-depth treatment of special topics and interests in nursing informatics. Half-day tutorials include three hours of instruction; full-day tutorials include six hours instruction. The Scientific Program Committee seeks a balance between tutorials that address core informatics theory and principles, with those that address practical applications, current issues and emerging trends and developments in informatics.
Tutorials range from the general introductory level through specialized advanced treatments. Instructors should be available to give their tutorial on June 26th or 27th and should confirm their availability on each of those days. Accepted tutorial submissions will be published in electronic format.
Tutorial proposals must not exceed maximum of two [21.0 x 29.7 cm: A4 size] pages (6 000 characters with spaces) and must include a title and:
- An opening summary (max. 750 characters with spaces)), followed by the body of the proposal that includes;
- A general description of the content of the tutorial;
- An outline of topics to be covered;
- Specific educational goals that attendees can expect to achieve;
- A description of who should attend;
- An indication of the level of content (percentage of basic, intermediate, and advanced material covered);
- A description of prerequisites, if any;
- A list of similar tutorials, courses, or workshops presented by the instructors at a major informatics or other conference;
- The name(s), academic degree(s), affiliations, and locations (city, state and country) of all instructors.
Posters
Posters describe existing computer applications, report on preliminary research, survey a subject area, or otherwise contribute to the knowledge of nursing informatics. If the poster presentation requires use of a computer, the presenter is responsible for bringing his or her own laptop to use for the presentation; computers and electricity connection cannot be provided for poster presentations by the Congress organizer. Accepted poster submissions will be published in electronic format.
Poster submission must not exceed one [21.0 x 29.7 cm: A4 size] page (3 000 characters and spaces) and must include a title and:
- A one paragraph opening summary (max. 600 characters with spaces) followed by a description of the specific proposition of the system, service, or project and practical problem it addresses or, in the case of original research, the methodology; an evaluation of the system, service, project, or research results; and conclusions;
- The name(s), academic degree(s), affiliations, and locations (city, state and country) of the authors.
