Sažetak
Considering the complexity and interrelation of the health domain and as a sign of the long- lasting collaboration of major societies in the field a special joint conference was set up that unities the conferences of the German Association for Medical Informatics, Biometry and Epidemiology (GMDS), the German Society for Epidemiology (DGEpi), the International Epidemiological Association – European Region and the European Federation for Medical Informatics (EFMI). The societies involved have longstanding experience in integrating the disciplines of medical informatics, biometry, epidemiology and health data management. The collaboration will not only offer a unique opportunity for integration but also strengthen each of the disciplines involved both on a national and international level. The event is organized under the common umbrella of HEC2016 by the motto of ‘Health – Exploring Complexity: An Interdisciplinary Systems Approach’, which took place in the city of Munich in Germany from August 28th to September 2nd. The title points to the joint effort of all societies involved to rethink their approaches and to signal the need to move on from silo thinking by exploring the complexity of health together although from different perspectives. Complex systems often involve heterogeneous objects and multifaceted interactions. The health domain is recognised to be particularly complex ; hence, we need to identify models that are able to integrate all the various aspects. We need to find new ways for collaboration of different scientific disciplines as well as for establishing comprehensive methodological approaches. The HEC2016 conference is a step forward.
