This sounds like a great conference. If you live in the Texas area, I would consider attending this HIMSS conference.
If you have colleagues who need to know more about how informatics is shaping the future of nursing, recommend they attend the HIMSS Nursing Informatics Institute hosted by Baylor Health Care System! This one-day, in-person event will discuss the role of nurses in implementing information technology to enhance nursing workflow, promote patient safety and yield outcomes that improve patient care.
