Call for Participation

The New England Nursing Informatics Consortium is pleased to announce this year's exciting Annual Symposium on Trends in Clinical Informatics - A Nursing Perspective.

The symposium planning committee is seeking abstracts that will address the theme of "Meaningful Use" and the use of automated clinical documentation systems to support patient care. We are looking for abstracts that will address the practical use of technology to support frontline nurses as they do their work. We are particularly interested in the presentation of real life experiences, the success and failures, when using technology to support nursing practice. We encourage first time poster presenters to submit abstracts. The following topics are meant as suggestions and are not considered all-inclusive of potential presentations:

Computerized Nursing Documentation
Medication Reconciliation and Electronic Medication Administration Record

Application development and/or implementation: Lessons learned
Patient Safety and Quality
Knowledge representation
Decision Support
Education and Training

The deadline for abstract submission is March 26, 2010

Abstract text must be typed and should not exceed 500 words. 

Your posters should visually identify your program or research project by depicting concepts and context at a glance. Authors will have the opportunity to discuss materials and provide related handouts.

The poster session will take place during a scheduled break.
