Conference Tracks and Levels
For this year's PHIN conference, we are establishing conference
tracks to help you focus on sessions that are of the
most interest to you. We have scheduled the conference in such a
way that for each concurrent session, we have content
for each
of the following tracks.
The 2008 PHIN Conference tracks are as follows:
- Programmatic: Partnership and community programs supporting and advancing informatics. This
includes new initiatives in informatics and eHealth (e.g., Communities of Practice (CoP), educational programs, Best Practices,
Open Source initiatives, RHIO grant program).
- Research & Innovation: Epidemiological and programmatic studies using newer informatics methodologies (NLP,
ontology, semantics, outcome based research, etc.)in applied clinical and/or public health settings
- Informatics in Action & IT Solutions: Exploring new and existing information technology solutions supporting
public health needs. This includes pilot projects, interoperability projects, and expansion of existing systems (e.g.,
BioSense, CDC Alerting Service,
CRA,
PHIN-MS).
- Standards & Interoperability: Technological governances, Project Management practice, Information Technology
Standards, and advancements in data exchange systems (e.g., Vocabulary Access and Distribution System, OID Registry, CDC Unified
Process, PHIN Certification).
When you register for the conference, you will be asked to choose
one of these tracks as your area of primary session attendance. This
will assist us in scheduling the correct size of room for each
concurrent session. We realize that you may wish to attend sessions
outside of your selected track in some instances, and we will not be
monitoring or limiting attendance based on track selection.
