AMIA Nursing Informatics Symposium

[rwingo]

AMIA Nursing Informatics Symposium being held November 11, 2006 in
Washington, DC. The symposium, hosted by AMIA and co-sponsored by ANI and
HIMSS, will focus on Regional Health Information Organizations. National
initiatives are prompting the development of RHIOs. In order for these RHIOs
to support the practice and delivery of nursing care by the 2.8 million
nurses in multiple care settings in the US, nurses
must be more involved in the development, governance and technology
management related to these RHIOs.

This one-day symposium chaired by Annelle Tanner, EdD,MSN, RN, will bring
RHIO experts from across the country together with leaders in nursing
informatics to discuss issues relevant to the development and function of
RHIOs as well as an exploration of the specific extension of the role of
nurses in patient safety and advocacy.

Registration for the symposium will open in June. For more information,
