face=verdana size=2>Dr. Octo Barnett Seminar This Wednesday (Smarter Health
Seminar 3:00PM EST Wed. June 27, University of Waterloo. Webcast. Broadcast to
OTN sites). REGISTER NOW at: <A href="http://infranet.uwaterloo.ca"
target=_blank>http://infranet.uwaterloo.ca</A><BR><BR>WHY YOU SHOULD
ATTEND:<BR><BR>1. The topic is crucially important. You only need to read the
newspapers or watch TV to recognize that care providers are challenged in terms
of making complex decisions in a realm of exponentially-increasing information,
new threats (like H5N1 and SARS and other viruses), and a ridiculously busy and
information-overloaded environment. In response to the challenges, Dr. Barnett
developed DXplain, a web-based software which is widely recognized as a major
advance in clinical decision support. <BR><BR>2. Dr. Barnett (MD, FACP,
FACMI, FAIMBE) has been “bloodied” in more than 50 years of working in
biomedical/health informatics. It is genuinely hard to find anyone else who has
seen, experienced, and contributed so much. The experiences he shares can
benefit all of us.<BR><BR>3. In participating you will have the opportunity to
listen to and question a plain speaking physician. He will become a reference
individual for you; someone whose work is both impressive and applicable, and
whose insights will give us all new ways of thinking about a complex
area.<BR><BR>Participate in real-time if you can, or access the archive a week
later if you’re tied up that day. Just be sure to join us one way or another in
this opportunity.<BR><BR>This Smarter Health Seminar is in celebration of the
University of Waterloo’s 50th Anniversary.<BR></FONT></BODY></HTML>
