Clinical Informatics Board Review Course (CIBRC) is organized by American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA) and will be held during September 14 -16, 2018 at DoubleTree By Hilton Hotel Bethesda - Washington DC, Bethesda, Maryland, United States of America. The target audience for this medical event is designed to provide an up-to-date review of the core content of the Clinical Informatics subspecialty. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 25.00 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits. Conference Description: AMIA's Clinical Informatics Board Review Course (CIBRC) provides American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) board-certified physicians with resources to assist in becoming certified in the subspecialty of clinical informatics. The course offerings are a resource for all practising clinical informaticians seeking to strengthen their knowledge of the field. In the past decade, healthcare has radically changed from a paper-based system to one that relies on technology to support all facets of healthcare delivery. This transformation has given rise to practitioners who need a skill set that goes beyond the clinical speciality in order to provide patients with the right care at the right time in the right place every time. This skill set may include abilities such as collaborating with various stakeholders to implement electronic health record technology in a health care system, managing clinical decision support in the EHR, analyzing "big data" to help determine population health or manage system costs, incorporating telemedicine into everyday practice, and optimizing the appropriate use of technological innovations in patient care. Conference Objectives: • Describe the role of data across the healthcare system, the laws governing use of data, and technical approaches to ensuring quality and protection of data. • Identify the range of clinical decision support tools; explain how to determine which application is appropriate for specific situations; describe how to develop and implement clinical decision support tools. • Describe the processes of developing or selecting a clinical information system, preparing and supporting clinicians for system implementation, and evaluating system effectiveness. Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
