NIH Natcher Conference Center
The Friends of the National Library of Medicine (FNLM) recently hosted their 2009 Annual Conference: Personal Electronic Health Records: From Biomedical Research to People’s Health. The conference, held on May 20-21, 2009 on the NIH campus at the Natcher Center featured presentations by 25 experts in the field. Representatives from the government, biotechnology companies, health centers and research provided cross-cutting perspectives on this increasingly significant topic. The conference was a great success and presented a comprehensive overview of the critical issues and current standards of practice for electronic health records to close to 400 attendees. Presentations on the first day included discussions of best current practices and the acceleration of clinical research with the adoption of PHER. Following the sessions, participants were invited to a reception on NIH grounds to meet and mingle. Thursday’s seminars focused on improvements in public heath with PHER and industry partnerships, concluding with a discussion of the future of PHER’s. The conference’s subject aligned closely with the priorities of the current Administration around the development and widespread implementation of personal electronic health records. The conference provided exposure for FNLM and the NLM.
