ACB-IT members:
For those of you who will be in Orlando FL for the combined AACC/IFCC Meeting
the AACC LISMI Division Annual Meeting at noon Monday 25 Jul7 2005 invites
you to attend and hear David W Bates MD who has been a key player in the
transformation to the Electronic Health Record. This presentation will
just one part of the range of activities in which AACC LISMID will
participate with respect to informatics and clinical laboratorians. LISMID
has been well a ware of the ACB-IT groups activities over the past ten
years and hope to have ACB present how this informatics transformation is
going in in UK and Ireland. Any questions about the upcoming program can
be obtained from our Chair Bill Coughlin who has arranged for Dr. Bates
presentation. The AACC LISMID eagerly welcomes ACB attendance.
