The American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA) is an organization of leaders shaping the future of health information technology in the United States and abroad. AMIA is dedicated to the development and application of medical informatics in support of patient care, teaching, research, and health care administration.

It has been an exciting year for AMIA. Please join us for a State of the Association Meeting on Tuesday, October 25 from 12:00 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. Charles Safran, AMIA Chairman, will provide a membership update including the 10x10 program and AMIA's efforts to transform health care in the areas of clinical informatics, public health informatics and translational bioinformatics. He will also discuss his successes during his term with AMIA and introduce the incoming Chairman, Paul Tang, who begins his term in January 2006.

Don Detmer, AMIA President and CEO will take some time to re-cap his first year with AMIA and highlight the many new and continuing initiatives including the GotEHR? Campaign, AMIA Day on the Hill and legislative briefings, the early success of the 10x10 program, and AMIA's alliance with AHIMA in the public policy arena.
