Organizational Issues in Meeting Minutes


Goals
Being able to make the business or health care case for technology depends on knowing what counts and how to count it. This will take an enterprise wide view and an understanding of the ways that technology creates an "altered organization". Change management added value derives from cutting across traditional domain boundaries. The set of managerial, analytical, technical, and economic skills that constitutes the professional's tool kit can produce a range of tailored "products" (outcomes) of interest to health care organizations and individuals seeking to use informatics technologies.

Meetings
2nd Doctoral Consortium on Organizational Issues in Medical Informatics
Nov. 11, 2006 Washington, DC

SPONSORS
American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA)
AMIA’s People and Organizational Issues Working Group (Primary Sponsor)
International Medical Informatics Association’s Organizational and Social Issues Working Group

OVERVIEW
The Doctoral Consortium is a forum in which doctoral students can meet and discuss their work with each other and with a panel of experienced researchers and practitioners.

We welcome applicants from a broad range of disciplines and approaches that inform medical informatics, including the social sciences, humanities, computer and information sciences, clinical sciences, law, and related fields. Applicants should be beyond the proposal stage and well into their research. The Consortium committee will select approximately 10 participants who will be expected to give short, informal presentations of their work during the Consortium, to be followed by a discussion.

To be eligible, students should have/will defend their dissertation/thesis proposals in the 2006 calendar year. In exceptional cases, we may accept students who will not meet this dissertation/thesis proposal deadline. If you’d like to apply but will not meet this deadline, please contact the Consortium Chair.

The Consortium will be held in conjunction with the American Medical Informatics (AMIA) 2006 Annual Symposium in Washington DC.
