The speaker is presenting on electronic health record implementation and the power of well-organized data to improve individual patient level outcomes. Using case examples and lessons learned from his own institution, he will highlight a variety of uses for this kind of data in patient care. Librarians will gain knowledge about how clinical data is collected and used, and how they can be more involved in data-driven parts of their institutions.

This nursing education conference is an ideal time to promote the awareness of the Medline Plus, Medline, and NIH resources to these nursing students. They are consumer health 12s and need to be aware of reliable sources of health information.

The Data and Visualization Institute for Librarians is a week-long course providing the opportunity for librarians passionate about research and scholarship to immerse themselves in learning about data science and visualization in collaboration with academic peers. Participants will develop knowledge, skills, and confidence to communicate effectively with faculty and student 133s about their data and be able to provide initial consultancy on the course topics.

Scientific information, much of which is published as grey literature, can play a pivotal role in the search for solutions to global problems. Diversity invigorates problem solving and science benefits from a community that approaches problems in a variety of creative ways. Despite their diversity, the hundreds of authors and 133s across the globe involved in grey literature can be seen as part of the same community contributing to the scientific enterprise in valuable ways.

This conference is directly relevant to the goals of the applicant's institution and program. The EthnoMed program seeks to help reduce disparities affecting immigrant and refugee populations by enhancing understanding between the medical culture and the culture of the patient. One goal of Harborview/EthnoMed is to grow the audience for our health materials beyond Seattle/King County, under a broader mission within our Department of Interpreter Services to reduce health disparities affecting limited English proficiency patient populations.
