1st –Ever Combined Healthcare Informatics Meeting
(health information / clinical information / medical informatics)

Meeting Information: As encouraged by the state board, we are beginning to consolidate healthcare informatics advisory boards. North Seattle and Bellevue Community College have just done so. We hope to encourage all state programs to do the same. The idea is to meet once annually for a very high level advisory session focusing on sector and hiring trends. Colleges will also have two virtual meetings per year with their “delegate” members for program – specific questions and information exchange.
When: October 11^th, 2007
Location: Bellevue Community College
Time: 2pm – 4pm
