The idea for establishing this kind of publication, named as “EFMI Inside” Newsletter was born in Lyon in August 2019, during “MEDINFO 2019” Conference and EFMI Council meeting, when Catherine Chronaki, Izet Masic, Arriel Benis, Paris Gallos, Lacramiora Stoicu-Tivadar, Alfred Winter and some other EFMI friends discussed and concluded to start with some kind of magazine in which we can record important and prompt facts and information about past, current and future activities of the European Federation for Medical Informatics (EFMI) available for readers worldwide online and in print. EFMI has other types of spreading information about important facts of its activities, such as “Reports”, addressing mostly EFMI Council members, presented by national representatives and working group chairs in EFMI. This publication will be an important and useful resource of EFMI and its activities for everybody who wants to be familiar with Medical informatics development and achievements in all areas of this academic and scientific discipline in European countries, but also, worldwide. In the first issue of of “EFMI Inside” readers can find contributions of influential medical informatics persons, former or current EFMI Council members: Presidents or Chairs of Working Groups, Honorary Fellows, and other EFMI members who were actively involved in the development of Medical informatics in their countries, but also worldwide. A lot of facts and stories “inside” EFMI are shared for the first time in this newsletter, to look back and think about the future of Medical Informatics in a rapidly changing world. All suggestions and new ideas for the next issues will be appreciated.

Objective: The aim of this study is to confirm the effect of one month dietary treatment on the level serum lipids (cholesterol and tryglicerides) and aminotransferases in overweight patients aged over 50 years. Methods: In agreement with the respondents we requested that they immediately only reduce consumption and that in the reporting period use only food without the use of pharmacotherapy (fat lowering agents and lipid lowering medications). The reason for this assumption is that there is physiological variation for biochemical and hematological examinations by number of internal and external influences determine the size of physiological changes, as well as the necessity of the necessary concentration of certain nutrients for basal metabolism, and function of the body–cells or metabolites. These same subjects, we monitored the frequency of the results, the results of blood glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, aminotransferase, acidum uricum creatinine after 1 month. The study was carried out on a targeted sample of 10 respondents in the Primary health care center in Gracanica for a period of 30 days. The tests on this sample were conducted survey on health status and nutrition, HIV treatment and diagnosis. Findings: Thee results show that there is an increased number of obese subjects. The paper analyzes the results of biochemical tests in subjects aged over 50 years. On the target medical and biochemical laboratory diagnostic examinations in 10 subjects of both sexes were observed: elevated results of blood glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, aminotransferase, uric acid and creatinine. It was also observed the fact that most patients was with increased body mass (BMI = and> 25). It has been observed continuous decline or normalization of laboratory test results after one month. Conclusion: There is a growing number of people who are overweight (BMI 25-30) and obese (BMI> 30) due to poor habits, which is dominated by excessive calorie intake. Due to the increased supply of food nutrients: glucose and/or triglyceride, cholesterol, protein in the body, there is increase in the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, nonprotein compounds, purine and lipid, with an intense oxidative processes in the mitochondria in particular fat cells and liver disorder utilization of glucose, lipids, purine. As a consequence, the pathological results: higher levels of glucose in the blood, cholesterol, triglycerides, uric acid, creatinine and aminotransferase were observed.

Disclosure of potential conflicts of interest (COI) is used by biomedical journals to guarantee credibility and transparency of the scientific process. COI disclosure, however, is not systematically nor consistently dealt with by journals. Recent joint editorial efforts paved the way towards the implementation of uniform vehicles for COI disclosure. This paper provides a comprehensive editorial perspective on classical COI-related issues. New insights into current COI policies and practices among European Society of Cardiology national cardiovascular journals, as derived from a cross-sectional survey using a standardised questionnaire, are discussed.

The workshop is proposed by the EFMI WG Health Informatics for Interregional Cooperation with the support of the Electronic Healthcare Records WG as a platform for finding common interests regarding improvement of healthcare services for the Central and East European geographical area. The goal is to assess conformance to international standards in healthcare and to find domains in which each country can provide best practices results of using ICT in support of healthcare.

C ardiovascular scientific production in Europe is growing in both quantity and quality. Promoting high-quality research is a major goal of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC). The ESC has two highly respected official general journals, namely the European Heart Journal and Cardiovascular Research, devoted to clinical and basic research, respectively. The ESC also publishes several subspeciality official journals covering the full spectrum of cardiovascular diseases and related techniques. Most European countries, however, also have their own cardiovascular journals. National Society Cardiovascular Journals (NSCJ) are time-honoured and classically disseminate high-quality scientific research mainly originating from each particular European country. They also play a major role in education and harmonization of clinical practice. Most NSCJ are published in local languages but many of them also incorporate English editions. Altogether, NSCJ provide a highly effective means to disseminate cardiovascular research produced in Europe. Scientific knowledge, however, has no barriers and many of these journals have gained an undisputed international profile. Some NSCJ, however, are just emerging and would benefit from networking support. It became clear that enhancing collaboration among NSCJ Editors would facilitate advancement in knowledge and further diffusion of scientific and educative contents. Developing a “Constituency Document” and “Mission Statement” was considered desirable to set the basis of future collaboration among NSCJ Editors. We assumed this responsibility in recognizing the crucial role of NSCJ in Europe. Our target was to produce and issue a core document with fundamental principles upon which all NSCJ Editors would agree. Common goals European National Society Cardiovascular Journals.

Background: The quality of healthcare and therefore primary healthcare and its measurement is a theoretical problem. However, its practical performance turned out to be even greater. However, we must always keep in mind the importance of not only primary healthcare as one of the key branches of the healthcare system, but above all its quality. Quality assessment is the first step in quality assurance and includes the analysis of structural, process and outcome variables. Objective: This article deals with that issue - assessment of the quality of work is one of the key elements in primary healthcare.. Methods: This is cross-sectional study about quality assessment of patient's satisfaction in PHC units in Bosnia and Herzegovina regarding AKAZ standards and rules. Results and Discussion:: Namely, primary healthcare, which operates at the municipal level and serves 10,000 to 50,000 inhabitants, must be carried out with quality, in order to raise the health standard in the country to a higher level. All countries, including ours, strive to provide high-quality healthcare services to residents with the available resources. With this idea, the Agency for Quality and Accreditation in Healthcare FBiH (AKAZ) was formed with its headquarters in Sarajevo. It is the competent authority in the field of improving the quality and safety of healthcare services. AKAZ offers a unique program to improve the quality and safety of healthcare services for healthcare centers, family medicine teams, hospitals and private health institutions in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The agency was established to work in cooperation with healthcare professionals and help them improve standards of quality and safety of healthcare.The manner in which we will collect the data we need to assess the quality of work is in the form of a questionnaire. This directly addresses residents, healthcare service users. Only from them will we receive appropriate information on the functioning or non-functioning of the healthcare system. Conclusion: More precisely, we can directly conclude whether a problem that has appeared is a problem of the entire healthcare system (at the level of the municipality, canton, entity, state), or whether it is a problem of a narrower nature. Namely, the problem can also be at the level of the healthcare center or even the practicing doctor. Such data are of great use to us in order to improve the entire healthcare system, starting from the practicing doctor, the family medicine team, and so on all the way upward to the competent political authorities.
