Merging Electronic Health Records & Electronic Data Capture [Washington, DC-Sep 2006]

[rnformatics]

2nd Annual Merging Electronic Health Records & Electronic Data Capture Conference
Integrating Patient Information with Drug Development
Sheraton Four Points
Washington, DC
Sept. 18-19

In the healthcare IT universe, the EHR revolution is clearly underway. A parallel transformation is also sweeping over the pharmaceutical research and development world -- the movement toward electronic data capture (EDC) and other innovations in clinical trials aimed at streamlining and improving the drug development process.

HIMSS, as an Association Co-Sponsor for the 2006 Merging EHR & EDC Conference, is participating to bring these two fundamental healthcare industry transformations closer together and help bridge the pharmaceutical-HIT divide. The inaugural 2005 conference introduced this visionary topic and clearly outlined the potential value of co-joining healthcare informatics and clinical trial research systems. The 2nd annual conference goes beyond theory and into real world experiences to build on data standardization efforts, government initiatives, physicians' needs and hospital
infrastructure.
