International Education Exchange (IEE) What is the International Education Exchange (IEE)? The International Education Exchange (IEE) contest is an exciting opportunity to share presentations with peers globally. Each year at the MUSE International Conference, six qualified finalists are judged and the winners enjoy an all-expense paid trip to present their sessions at the MUSE Conference in the United Kingdom. Initiated in 1999, the IEE contest has enhanced the quality of MUSE conference presentations. Past winners speak fondly of the overall experience - it is both professionally and personally rewarding. The MUSE Board in the United Kingdom (UK) stages an IEE competition at their conference. Those winners are awarded a trip to present their sessions at the International MUSE Conference the following year. Thus, the ‘exchange’ of international education! Guidelines: 1. Submission of Presentation Presentations for the IEE at the International MUSE Conference are submitted via the ‘Call for Participation’ form on the MUSE website. Those presenters interested in the IEE competition can indicate so on the form. The cut-off date for IEE presentation submissions is February 1, 2008. Use the Call for Participation form to submit your IEE presentation. The submission must include the presentation title, presenter’s bio, and a complete and comprehensive abstract. The duration of the presentation should be 55 minutes. IEE contestants must also submit a preliminary PowerPoint presentation by February 15, 2008 in order to be considered by the judges. This is a new requirement. Email this information to iee@museweb.org. Late submissions will not be accepted. 2. Review of Submissions A panel of judges will review each presentation to determine the top six finalists. Preliminary submissions are judged on:
UK audiences share similar interests to American and Canadian colleagues, but there are many legislative and system differences. An awareness of such issues is necessary to increase the likelihood of a presentation becoming a finalist. MUSE wants to ensure that the winning presentations are relevant and beneficial to the UK audience. HIPAA is U.S. legislation that does not apply in the UK. A presentation called, "Meeting HIPAA Requirements in a MEDITECH World", for example, would not meet the IEE contest criteria. However, a presentation titled, "Addressing Access Management and Confidentiality Issues in MEDITECH" might well be judged a finalist. The UK does have legislation similar to HIPPA, so the topic is appropriate. There is no full Client/Server installation in the UK, but a contestant from a Client/Server site may well be eligible as long as the topic for the IEE entry is not focused on specific Client/Server modules. A more generic presentation concerning "Clinical Implementation Strategy" would be more acceptable than one titled "EMR Implementation Strategy". 3. Notification Process The six finalists are notified well in advance of the International MUSE Conference when they make their ‘live’ presentations. The UK Conference will be held in the fall of 2008 in Manchester, UK. Finalists should ensure that they have proper and valid travel documents (i.e. passport) in anticipation of winning the IEE contest. 4.

5. Award Presentation The top two presenters win a trip to present their sessions at the MUSE conference in the United Kingdom (fall of 2008 in Manchester, UK). The winners will also present their sessions via a MUSE Webcast at mutually agreed upon date. Judges may offer suggestions to the winners to better prepare them to present in the UK. Differences in the UK healthcare system and terminology may need review. Any changes would most likely be minor and cosmetic, simply to ensure that the presenter is prepared and enjoys a positive experience. The Fine Print:
