--
Fourth Annual Denver Medical Library Informatics Fair
The Fair has become the largest event of its kind in the Rocky Mountain
Region, aimed specifically at physicians, office managers, and other health
care personnel interested in computer applications in medicine. It is
organized by the Denver Medical Library, hosted by Columbia/HealthONE
Healthcare System, and sponsored by leading health care organizations,
including the Colorado Medical Society, Copic Insurance Company, and the
Colorado Foundation for Medical Care.
In lectures, workshops, hands-on seminars and a broad array of vendor
exhibits, the Fair offers the medical community the chance to immerse itself
for three days in the world of information systems.
<<This year's theme is "The Internet.">>
Topics will include:
Medical Web Sites
Navigating the Internet
Internet Security
Private Internets and Intranets
Composing in HTML
Uses and Abuses of Tickler Systems
Patient Access to Medical Information
Connectivity: Hospital, Physician, Insurer
Liability Issues Created by Computerized Medical Records
In addition, commercial displays and educational presentations are welcome
on every aspect of medical computing, including office automation; billing;
electronic claims; electronic medical records; E-mail, scheduling and
communications; decision support; medical reference; patient education; and
other topics in medical information management.
The audience will be mostly practicing physicians, with a few house staff,
nurses and some office managers. Their experience in computing ranges from
curious novice to doctoral level in information science. The average
attendee uses a computer at home and office for some applications, and
wishes he or she could make it do more.
With all its flaws, the Internet holds more promise today for the
advancement of medical informatics than any other emerging technology. (If
the infrastructure will just hold together for a few more months...) We're
very interested in what you have to show us.
For questions please call Dorothy Struble at (303) 839-6670.
Sincerely,
Michael S. Victoroff, M.D.
