Organizer: Vincent P. Tomaselli (Center for Advanced Information Management, Columbia University)
The conference topic – electronic health records (EHR) – is an important issue that has been brought to the forefront of national emphasis by both government and industry. It has been proposed that the use of EHR will improve healthcare delivery and reduce costs and medical errors. The goals of this forum include creating dialogue about the latest EHR developments; to inform delegates about new innovations; to provide an opportunity for expert developers and users to discuss their problems and brainstorm solutions; and to provide networking opportunities between leaders in this field that may lead to future collaborations.

eBriefing
Organizer: Mary Ann Banerji, MD (SUNY Downstate Medical Center)
Minority populations in the United States bear a disproportionate burden of diabetes and related conditions. As a new eBriefing reports, the causes include genetics, social factors, and a need for more culturally sensitive approaches from the healthcare industry.
Annals
Edited by Aftab Ansari, Abdul Jabbar, Tristram Parslow, and Rafi Ahmed (Emory University, Atlanta, GA)
In this Annals volume leaders in the field from universities, industry, the National Institutes of Health, and the Centers for Disease Control present up-to-date information on the biology, pathogenesis, epidemiology and immunology of pathogenic hemorrhagic fever viruses.
Annals
Edited by William C. Bushell (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), Erin L. Olivo (Columbia University), and Neil D. Theise (Beth Israel Medical Center, Albert Einstein College of Medicine)
The reports in this volume establish a basis for a program of research that will advance our current understanding of longevity and health.
eBriefing
Organizer: Albert Ko (Weill-Cornell Medical College)
As a new eBriefing explains, regions of Southeast Asia, Africa, and Latin America bear the greatest burden from meningococcal and pneumococcal diseases, dengue, and dengue hemorrhagic fever, in part because life-saving vaccines have not been broadly implemented.
eBriefing
Keynote Speaker: David Krol (University of Toledo College of Medicine; Global Children's Dental Health Taskforce)
The traditional approach to delivering pediatric health care is not effective in underserved populations. Practitioners are investigating comprehensive, community-based approaches that have been successful in other contexts.
