Consumer Health Informatics and PHI 2011 Featured on Guest Blog at NCI/NIH
|
The chair of AMIA’s Consumer Health Informatics Working Group, Lindsey B. Hoggle, MS, Managing Partner at Health Project Partners, LLC, was invited to write a guest post for Informatics for Consumer Health blog that appears on the National Cancer Institute website at NIH. Informatics for Consumer Health focuses on the coordination of health information, technology, and health care delivery that empowers providers to manage care and increases the ability of consumers to gain mastery over their own health. This initiative is led by a collaboration of Federal agencies, including Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Library of Medicine (NLM), and Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC). Lindsey discusses consumer health informatics as the mirror image of public health informatics and how these two areas work “in concert” with one another. This conversation will continue at PHI 2011 in Orlando, Fla. on May 25-27. PHI 2011 is approaching fast. Advance deadline for this meeting is TODAY, May 12. Online registration will close on Friday, May 13, but onsite registration will be available on a walk-in basis. For more information, click here. |
