Electronic Health

Health data derived from electronic health records are increasingly utilized in large-scale population health analyses. Going hand in hand with this increase in data is an increasing number of data breaches. Ensuring privacy and security of these data is a shared responsibility between the public health researcher, collaborators, and their institutions. In this article, we review the requirements of data privacy and security and discuss epidemiologic implications of emerging technologies from the computer science community that can be used for health data. In order to ensure that our needs as researchers are captured in these technologies, we must engage in the dialogue surrounding the development of these tools.

Constitutional reform was on the agenda again at the Annual General Meeting in Canberra, as it will be for the next several AGMs I think, as there is clear recognition from the membership that the Society is facing change. The roles of the Divisional chairs and State chairs and the nature of the general meeting were discussed in the light of overall structure. The Council is the principal decision-making body but because the Council only meets twice-yearly, interactions inside the Executive form the operational and strategic engine of ASM. The current Executive includes the incumbent President, with either the incoming (President-Elect) or outgoing (Immediate Past President), the Vice-President Scientific Affairs, Vice-President Corporate Affairs and Vice-President Communications. The Chair roles have long been tasked with national leadership but without a role in Executive they have been preoccupied almost exclusively with the national meeting and speak only at the National Scientific Advisory Committee, which has an enormous operational role managing the bulk of the scientific awards and meetings. The recent move of the Division Chairs into Council as invitees over the last year or two has worked well and the increased involvement of State Chairs similarly. We will be now ratifying these arrangements by seeking formal endorsement at an extraordinary general meeting of the membership to bring the Constitution into line with these arrangements.

Abstract 2019 is the last full year of the EUPHA strategy 2014-2020: Voicing knowledge. Enhancing capacity. The 2014-2020 strategy has allowed EUPHA to strengthen capacity building throughout Europe and has given our EUPHA sections and EUPHAnxt the visibility they deserve. Voicing knowledge has made big steps forwards with the help of our two presidents: Martin McKee and Natasha Azzopardi Muscat. But society has changed, new threats (fake news) are surfacing, old threats (measles) are coming back and EUPHA and its members need to adapt. In 2018, a working group was installed with representatives from our members, our sections, our Executives and EUPHAnxt to discuss what EUPHA should focus on in the next 5 years. The new strategy has (hopefully) been adopted by all our members in November 2019 (the day before the conference) and is presented here. Next to the new strategy, EUPHA will have to develop a 5-year work plan to describe what needs to be done to achieve this strategy. More importantly, what is expected of the public health network. What skills do they need? How should the training, life-long education be shaped? In this workshop, we will first present the changing environment (McKee), followed by a presentation on our new strategy (Azzopardi Muscat and Nagyova). We will than have a Round Table with representatives of our members and of our partners. Questions to be discussed/answered are: do they have these skills already, how can we move forward, what is missing.

Evidence to policy should focus on actionable recommendations.

Rotation Of The Earth

The Commission supports and coordinates scientific investigations in the Earth rotation and related reference frames. Several changes had been introduced to the structure of Commission 19 since the IAU XXVI General Assembly in Prague, 2006. The Organizing Committee of Commission 19 has been substantially reduced. It consists now of six ex-officio members, the Commission president, vice-president, past president and representatives from the International Association of Geodesy (IAG), International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service (IERS), International VLBI Service for Geodesy and Astrometry (IVS), and five members at-large who are nominated by the OC, selected by the Commission members and elected by the IAU GA for a maximum of two terms. The modified terms of reference of Commission 19, the list of members and other details can be found at the Commission website <iau-comm19.cbk.waw.pl/>.
