Call for Abstracts: Health Information Capture Conference [Ft. Lauderdale, FL-Nov 07]

[rnformatics]

Medical Records Institute (MRI) welcomes presentation abstracts from the
user community for the 2nd Annual National Conference on Health
Information Capture, taking place November 5-7, 2007 at the Marriott
North in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA.

For most healthcare organizations, information capture is the single
most expensive line item under HIT. Inefficient information capture
costs hospitals $5,000 to $20,000 per clinician per year. And the legal
risks of incomplete or inaccurate information have never been greater
for both hospitals and practices.

The Medical Records Institute seeks users from practices and in-patient
settings to describe the savings and efficiency gains they've realized
from capturing clinical information by using methods such as speech
recognition, document imaging, mobile technologies such as tablets and
smart phones, and other approaches.

If you have such an implementation story to share with your peers (no
solutions providers, please), submit your abstract no later than Friday,
July 13, 2007 to Linda McLaughlin at linda@medrecinst.com.

Educational sessions will address information capture methods and
related issues including:
* Comparison of systems for efficiency, accuracy and completeness,
timeliness, cost savings
* Medical Transcription (reducing costs of MT, improving quality and

turnaround; alternatives to MT)
* Handwriting Recognition
* Direct computer input by clicking or touching
* Document Imaging
* Speech Recognition
* Natural Language Understanding and Processing
* Macros/Template Management
* Bar code data capture
