Biomedical Informatics for Clinical Decision Support

``This symposium focuses on software tools and approaches needed to deliver biomedical information technologies to clinicians and patients at the time and place where decisions are made regarding risk, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up.

``The meeting will provide a vision of the scientific future where healthcare information technologies will be fully deployed in the clinical workflow to improve efficiency and outcomes. As healthcare accommodates the individual variation in the population, mass customization using comprehensive life information records will be needed.

``Genomics data and software are an explicit component of the program.

``Registration is now open. The symposium is coordinated by the NIH Bioengineering Consortium (BECON) and the Biomedical Information Science and Technology Initiative Consortium (BISTIC). The event will be held on June 21 and 22, 2004, at the William H. Natcher Conference Center on the NIH main campus in Bethesda, Maryland.''
