A discussion and debate on the American Medical Informatics Association's (AMIA) Ethical, Legal, and Social Issues (ELSI) Working Group listserv in 2021 raised important issues related to a forthcoming conference in Texas. Texas had recently enacted a restrictive abortion law and restricted voting rights. Several AMIA members advocated for a boycott of the state and the scheduled conference. The discussion led the AMIA Board of Directors to request that the organization's Ethics Committee provide general guidance for principle-based venue selection. This document recommends overarching principles for the venue selection for future AMIA events and conferences. Discussions by the AMIA Board, the Ethics Committee, and the ELSI Working Group informed these recommendations, and this document on guiding principles was approved by the AMIA Board of Directors in April 2022.
2021 年，美国医学信息学协会（AMIA）伦理、法律和社会问题（ELSI）工作组列表服务上进行了一场讨论和辩论，提出了与即将在德克萨斯州举行的会议相关的重要问题。德克萨斯州最近颁布了一项限制堕胎的法律，并限制了投票权。几位 AMIA 成员主张抵制该州和预定的会议。这次讨论促使 AMIA 董事会要求该组织的道德委员会为基于原则的场地选择提供一般性指导。本文为未来 AMIA 活动和会议的场地选择提供了总体原则。AMIA 董事会、道德委员会和 ELSI 工作组的讨论为这些建议提供了信息，该指导原则文件已于 2022 年 4 月获得 AMIA 董事会的批准。
