1:00 - 1:45 pm
William Bria, MD
Chief Medical Information Officer
Shriner's Childrens Hospital
From early naiveté to present-day concerns over e-Iatrogenesis, our AMI “baby” has grown up fast in America. The concurrence of our national healthcare economic crisis and the emergence of genomics in daily clinical care further challenge our task of integration of medical knowledge into our HIT systems. Practical approaches to the pacing and the guidepost of our “parenting” of AMI in the latter half of this decade will be discussed.

Closing Keynote: The IT Curriculum: Getting to the Real Content
3:45 - 4:30
Margaret Schulte, DBA, FACHE
Associate Professor, Graduate Program in Health Administration
Grand Valley State University
Description: The demand for relevant IT management content in graduate healthcare management education is growing, and it needs to continue to grow dramatically if healthcare is to meet the workforce demands that are expanding in concert with IT implementations nationwide and globally. This session will provide insight into a range of content that should be included in IT curricula in order to prepare students for a their role in healthcare. Roles may be range from that of an end user/manager who needs to understand the IT environment in which they function, to the participant in an assessment, acquisition and implementation process, to an Information Manager, or to an IT Department Manager or executive. In each case, graduate preparation needs to be designed around program goals. Different level of syllabi content will be discussed across this range of roles.
