15th Annual International Symposium on EDIS
Course Benefits Dates Location Schedule Tuition Registration Additional Course Information
IsEDIS, Intelligent Solutions for Emergency Department Information Systems, is the premier course that the ED Community relies on for education on how to computerize the ED. We have presented this course annually for the last 14 years. In addition to the high quality educational sessions, the isEDIS course features the opportunity to interact with a full array of exhibitors and to network with colleagues from across the nation and the world.
The economic recession has caused hospitals to withhold moneys for travel expenses and for infrastructure projects such as purchasing new ED Information Systems. Because of this, and to ensure that all attendees get maximal value when they attend, the course directors have decided to postpone the course until no later than the fall of 2010.
Over the next few months we will be developing a new feature on our website, a web forum to allow you to interact with your colleagues across the nation. Faculty experts in EDIS will moderate the forum.
The course directors will continue to develop the course so that you can be sure the next EDIS course will contain the best educational offerings and an optimal opportunity to interact with exhibitors and network with your colleagues.

Target Audience:
Researching, purchasing and implementing an information system for your hospital requires a multi-disciplinary approach that includes physicians, nurses, administrators and information systems personnel. Hospitals that have been most successful in implementing and maintaining effective systems have involved all team members from the beginning.
When implementing a system, no one individual can handle all the issues to be addressed and challenges to be solved. This symposium brings everyone together on a level playing field and will foster the team approach.
