  • Title: A global Intranet for an international scientific society.
    Author: Kleinoeder T, Rienhoff O.
    Journal: Stud Health Technol Inform; 1998; 52 Pt 1():197-201. PubMed ID: 10384446.
    Abstract:
    The International Medical Informatics Association (IMIA) has built up a world-wide infrastructure which is using the Internet as a backbone for a global Intranet. The work has been supported by cost analysis and user acceptance monitoring. As one of the first international scientific societies, IMIA is offering professional electronic communication services to its members. This step has been taken to advance international cooperation and to support the dissemination and exchange of information on the Health Informatics Sector. The current ways of communication and Information Exchange do not meet the requirements of the Information Society because they are too slow and too expensive. The implementation of an Intranet based on the Internet provides a communication channel which is easily accessible for all IMIA members and which will allow efficient information exchange and built up links between IMIA related projects and organizations.
