(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

5

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

6

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.

Membership and stability

TAMI already has experience in managing conferences. The congress will be

handled internally by TAMI. We will also recruit assistance from co-organizers

and, if necessary, local professional companies.

TAMI already had the experience of hosting APAMI 2006 in Taipei, keeping

close connections with the region societies. In Medinfo, we will set aside roughly

equal speaker/presenter time slots for different region societies.

2002. The annual two-days conference presents invited key-note speakers and five

sessions with presentations selected by the TAMI board from blinded abstracts called

for from TAMI members four months in advance of the conference. The abstracts are

made public at the JCMIT proceeding. The conference has a small poster exhibition

and social program for the participants.

Last annual two-day conference was held in Nov. 2011 with 354 participants.

The society’s members of the board organize the annual conference with hired help

from our secretariat.

The members of the local organizing committee have extensive experience from

organizing conferences on national and international scales.

Besides the annual two-day conference, TAMI organizes approximately three smaller

theme meetings and several site visits among health IT-organizations and vendors every

year.

TAMI has since 2008 been one of the organizers of the Joint Conference on Medical

Informatics in Taiwan (JCMIT) which is held every year and gathers 200-300

participants.

The theme of the conference was "Towards Global Interoperability for Electronic

Health Records".

(1) Location

1. Taiwan:

Taiwan's total land area is only about 36,000 square kilometers (14,400 square miles); it

is shaped like a leaf that is narrow at both ends. It lies off the southeastern coast of

mainland Asia, across the Taiwan Strait from Mainland China-- a solitary island on the

western edge of the Pacific Ocean. To the north lies Japan; to the south is the

Philippines. Many airlines fly to Taiwan, helping make it the perfect travel destination.

Taiwan lies on the western edge of the Pacific "rim of fire," and continuous tectonic

movements have created majestic peaks, rolling hills and plains, basins, coastlines, and

other wonders. Taiwan's tropical, sub-tropical, and temperate climates provide clear

differentiation between the different seasons.

There are about 18,400 species of wildlife on the island, with more than 20 %

belonging to rare or endangered species. Among these are the land-locked salmon,

Taiwan mountain goat, Formosan rock monkey, Formosan black bear, blue magpie,

Mikado pheasant, Xueshan grass lizard, and many more. The government has

established 8 national parks and 13 national scenic areas as to preserve Taiwan's best

natural ecological environment and cultural sites. Take a hike in the splendor and sheer

heights of the cliffs at Taroko Gorge; take a ride on the Alishan Forest Railway and

experience the breathtaking sunrise and sea of clouds; hike up to the summit of North

east Asia's highest peak, Yushan. You can also soak up in the sun in Kenting, Asia's

version of Hawaii; stand at the edge of Sun Moon Lake; traipse through the East Rift

Valley; or visit the offshore islands of Kinmen and Penghu.

Taiwan is a warm destination year-round and doesn't experience a low season, so

almost any time of the year can be good for a visit. Taiwan once created an “economic

18

miracle” that aroused the admiration of the world, and now our 3C products are sold

throughout the globe. For this reason, the impression of Taiwan in the minds of all too

many people is that of a technologically advanced “industrial island” or “island of

technology.” After a traveler arrives in Taiwan, however, he or she will discover that

this island nurtures a wide array of tourism and ecological resources, a diversity of

traditional folk customs, a rich culture, modern arts, and fantastic food. In short, they

discover that Taiwan is “beyond their expectations.”

(2) Taipei

Surrounded by mountains on all sides, Taipei Basin was originally the ancestral

homeland of the aborigine Pingpu Tribe. The first Han Chinese arrived in the Song and

Yuan dynasties as a result of the booming fishing business in southern Fujian Province.

But it wasn’t until the Ming dynasty that large numbers of immigrant Han Chinese

came to develop this land. In the 17th century, as European powers extended their

domination to East Asia, strategically-positioned Taiwan was first occupied by the

Dutch, and then by the Spanish. But in 1661, Chinese pirate Koxinga (a.k.a. Zheng

Chenggong) forced the Dutch out of Taiwan and took control of the island. In 1684, the

island was placed under direct rule of Qing count.

The construction of Taipei City was launched in 1882 and completed in 1884. The city

was built in the shape of a square, protected by stoned walls which were encircled by

moats. In 1895, after China’s defeat in the Sino-Japanese War, Taiwan was ceded to

Japan. Following Taiwan’s retrocession to China in 1945, in 1949, the Central

Government relocated to Taiwan, chose Taipei as it’s provisional Capital, and launched

a series of development projects. On July 1, 1967, in view of the city’s rapid

development, Taipei was elevated to the status of special municipality directly

19

administered by the Central Government. As of June 2007, Taipei City encompasses an

area of 271.7997 sq. km, and has a population of 2.62 million.

Building on solid foundations laid by the ancestors of its present-day residents, Taipei

has risen in prominence in the sixty years after Taiwan’s retrocession to become the

political, economic, educational, cultural, transportation, information and technology

hub of the country. It has transformed itself into one of the world’s foremost

international cities, a dazzling showcase of urban development in the 21st century.

Taipei has hosted many large international events such as the Deaflympics in 2009 and

coming International Flora Exposition starting in Nov., 2010.

(3) Conference Venue- Taipei International Convention Center

Taipei International Convention Center (TICC), the proposed venue for the Congress, is

the top venue provider in Taiwan and was the venue for the ICN 2005. It is situated in

the foothills of eastern Taipei’s Xin-yi District, an area where the modern face of Taipei

shines with glass and steel skyscrapers, one of the tallest buildings in the world, wide

boulevards, and the Taipei World Trade Center complex. As the political, economic,

and cultural center of Taipei, the district houses many landmark buildings, including the

Taipei City Hall, Taipei City Council, National Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall, and

Taipei 101.

Its convention hall is capable of seating up to 3,100 delegates in the plenary mode. It is

a spectacular tribute to the emergence of Taipei as a world-class business destination. It

can provide delegates with efficient meeting facilities, top-quality security, lodging and

a full line of business, communications and media support.

23

The accommodation in Taipei city is quite affordable with high quality. The main hotel

24

for the congress will be the Grand Hyatt Taipei. Grand Hyatt Taipei hotel anchors the

city’s most vibrant commercial centre in the Xin-yi district and is adjacent to Taipei 101

Financial Center and the World Trade Centre complex. Located at the very heart of the

New Taipei, a burgeoning business, shopping and entertainment district, the hotel in

Taipei affords business travelers the utmost in convenience. There are many modern

tourist hotels in Eastern district of Taipei, very near to Congress venue (maximum 15

minutes’ distance by car, subway, or taxi, see the following Table). Medinfo 2017

Organizing Committee will arrange a sufficient number of rooms at the specially

discounted rates. Other diverse types of accommodation can be selected by students

and other economy-minded participants at a range of US$100~120 per night.

25

5. Accommodation

26

TAMI has arranged with five-star hotels to host international conference

attendee:- When booking accommodation, please mention the conference

name and date in order to qualify for the rates- All hotels are within walking

distances to conference venue: Taipei International Convention Center. Rates

includes Breakfast and Excludes Tourism Levy

29

The transportation in Taipei city is very convenient and affordable. Most tourist hotels

operate their own shuttle buses, and the Organizing Committee will provide

participants free shuttle service. There are well-developed and excellent subway

systems in Taipei. The subway is the most efficient and convenient way for foreign

travelers to get around cities. Station names, ticket windows, and transfer signs are all

clearly marked in English as well as Chinese. Local buses are the most common means

of transport in Taipei. They are frequent, reliable, and by far the cheapest way of getting

around Taipei. Taipei’s bus network serves all areas of the city. The inexpensive fare is

the same regardless of distance. City express buses are more comfortable than the local

buses. They stop less frequently and only pick up passengers for whom they have

vacant seats.

6.Support: Government, Host and Support Organizations

(1) Support Letter from Government

IMIA board and the MedInfo Steering Committee

Sept. 18, 2012

As Mayor of Taipei City, it gives me great pleasure to learn that the city might be chosen as the venue

for the World Congress on Medical Informatics-MedInfo 2017. Taipei City Government actively

encourages to strive for hosting international conferences. I am proud to support this bid and to give

the City Government’s full backing.

Taipei City ranks high on the scoreboard when it comes to hosting international congresses and

meetings. There are many reasons for this position.

Safe, Reliable, Cordial, and High-Quality Transportation Services and convenient public transport

network. Taipei Metro was ranked the No.1 MRT system in the world by Nova Urban Railway

Benchmarking Group from 2004 to 2008.

Convenient access to a variety of accommodation options

Professional convention facilities and staff

Warm climate

Our rich cultural heritage, fine local and international cuisines, and arts and cultural events

Taipei city also offers a national park with breathtaking scenery, excellent thermal spring resorts,

the largest shopping mall in the Far East and the tallest building in the world, Taipei 101.

The 21st Summer Deaflympics in Taipei City 2009 enhanced the global visibility of Taipei.

Taipei City was invited to participate in the Expo 2010 Shanghai in Mainland China. The year 2011

was a year of great harvest for Taipei City. The Flora Expo and the 2011 IDA Congress Taipei ended on

a high note, winning worldwide acclaim. The nation's youth baseball team also claimed the gold

medal in the First IBAF World Youth League held in Taipei. Moreover, the Taipei City Government won

the hosting right for the 2017 Summer Universiade, projected to be the most spotlighted sports

event.

Please be assured that the Taipei City Government will give its full support to ensure MedInfo2017 in

Taipei is a resounding success, and an event that the delegates will remember as among the best

they have ever attended.

31

Come and meet Taipei. The easygoing, open-minded and friendly Taiwanese is an attraction in itself.

In choosing Taipei as the host city, I have no doubt that shall be able to serve you and the delegates

to satisfaction. And I have no doubt, that you and your delegates will bring back lots of good

memories and new culture experience from a busy but friendly city.

(2) Support Letter from Host and Support Organizations

Dear Country Representatives and Colleagues,

We are so happy to endorse the Taiwan Association for Medical Informatics (TAMI), to submit this

proposal to bid for hosting MedInfo 2017 in Taipei, Taiwan/ROC, in 2017.

Taiwan Association of Medical Informatics (TAMI) had hosted quite a few events successfully in the

past. For example, APAMI 2006 was hosted by TAMI. The event attracted around 500 participants and

around 20 distinguished scholars delivered their speeches in 30 plenary sessions.

TAMI is also very active in medical informatics research, for example, in 2007, US$760,000 was

granted by the Ministry of Health Taiwan to construct a patient centric EMR exchange infrastructure.

We are very impressed with and proud of our TAMI community for their many achievements and

appreciated contribution. Today, TAMI takes a step further to engage all key stakeholders in Taiwan to

seek the opportunity to host "the event" in medical informatics. We are so confident in TAMI’s

capability and financial accountability, supported by the TAMI, TNIA, MISAT, HL7 Taiwan and IHE to

host this great MedInfo 2017 event. Taiwan has made many amazing accomplishments in many fields.

We hope our past experience would convince you that we can successfully host MedInfo 2017. We

look forward to your support and sincerely invite you to join us.

Wulai Aboriginal Cultural Tour

Day 1:Come to Wulai and see the Wulai Waterfall, an aboriginal dance performance,

Swallow Lake (pass by), and the Chieftain’s Statue.

Wulai- This township is famous for its hot springs and aboriginal culture and the name

of the town comes from the local Tai Ya Aboriginal Tribe’s word for hot springs. Set in

the mountains Wulai has beautiful scenery and is only a short distance from Taipei,

making it an ideal getaway from the city. Wulai Waterfall. Although a small waterfall,

the clear river water contrasts with the river rocks and the abundant foliage making it

a stunning view. The falls are roughly 80 meters high and fall in two streams to the

basin below. The water is clear and people can often be seen swimming in by the base

of the falls. Swallow Lake Located in the mountains in the Xindian District, this lake

derives its name for the flocks of swallows that are often seen circling the lake. The

natural setting and the relaxed atmosphere of the area make it popular for all types of

recreation from outdoor barbeques to cycling. Chieftain’s Statue The Chieftain’s Statue

is sculpted in the image of an Atayal Tribe chief and represents both the local Atayal

Tribe’s pride in their warrior/hunter heritage but is also displays the artistry of the

tribe.

Taipei City Night Tour

Day 1:Visit Lungshan Temple, Huaxi Night Market, and Taipei 101.

Lungshan Temple, The Lungshan Temple is probably what comes to mind when you

think of a Chinese temple. It was built in 1920 and is incredibly well preserved and

maintained. It is a 5940m2 temple with amazing carving and painting on every surface

40

of the temple from its 42 pillars to the painted walls. The Lungshan Temple is a Taoist

temple dedicated to the goddess Guanyin. The temple not only attracts large numbers

of tourists but is also still used as a place of worship for many Taiwanese. Come and

appreciate the architecture and spiritual qualities of this temple and come to further

understand the Taiwanese culture. Hua-Xi Night Market. The Hua-Xi Night Market is

the first night market in Taiwan to be declared an international tourist location.

Despite only being separated by one street the Hua-Xi Night Market throngs with

people of all ages and has a mind blowing number of food vendors which will tempt

you into eating far more that you planned! Take your time and wander that night

market and try out some the multitude of “little eats” available. Taipei 101. The Taipei

101 building was the tallest building in the world when it was constructed in 2004. It

stands at an impressive 508m, 101 floors, and its designed is meant to mimic the

shape and lines of the bamboo plant. The building has many designer stores,

restaurants, Taipei’s largest bookstore Page One, and an international super market.

Furthermore Taipei 101 has an incredible fast elevator, which takes passengers from

the fifth floor to the observation platform within 37 seconds.

Keelung Harbor and Yehliu Scenic Area Northern Coast Tour

Day 1: Visit Keelung City and Harbor, Yehliu Geopark and the Zhong Zheng Park.

Keelung City, Keelung is located in Northern Taiwan and received more rainfall than

any other city, giving it the nickname City of Rain. The city’s seaside location and the

fact that it is ringed by mountains mean that Keelung receives a great deal of strong

winds as well. Its seaside locations also means that there is a thriving fishing industry

here and there are many fish markets as well as a huge variety of fresh seafood

41

available. These markets are what gave birth to its other nickname, the City of Fish.

Many tasty seafood snacks are also sold in the Maiokou night market, one of the city’s

busiest areas. Also during the Chinese Ghost Festival, the 15th day of the 7th month of

the lunar calendar, you can see the flower carts being paraded through the streets on

the backs of their bearers. So come and experience the unique city of Keelung. Yeh-Liu

Geopark. The Yeh-Liu Geopark has very unique geology and is one of Taiwan’s 12

Natural Heritage Sites as classified by the Taiwan Council for Cultural Affairs. Excluding

the 4000 year old “Queen’s Head” mushroom rock there is also the Fairy’s Shoe,

Marine Bird Rock, Ice Cream Rock, Pearl Rock, Mazu Cave etc… The Geopark has an

astounding variety of rock formations in a relatively small area: from rocks that look

like mushrooms and candles to elephants and bean curd rising up from the sea,

making this all-natural art gallery a location not to be missed. Zhong Zheng Park The

Guanyin Statue is located in Zhong Zheng Park, which was built in 1950 by the Keelung

governement to commemorate former president Chiang Kai Shek. The Guanyin Statue

stands at 22.4 meters tall and is not only the centerpiece of the park but also the
