However, one of the challenges posed by this new information environment is how to interpret meaningful knowledge from the collection of data. Data mining methods yield some unique approaches to discovering knowledge hidden in large databases. If used correctly, data mining can provide an organization with insight to its own internal intellectual assets. You will learn about: Recent developments in the area of data exploration Key components of setting up a successful data mining program Presenters Elizabeth Liddy, Syracuse University, Public Health Interventions Henry Small, ISI, Citation and Analysis of Medical Literature Kathy Moeller , Atlantic Health System ?

You will learn about: The nature and structure of medical informatics Its research questions and interests The relationship of medical informatics to other disciplines How and where the field borrows and lends concepts and theories from and to other fields Educational requirements faced by medical informatics researchers, practitioners and knowledge workers Presenters Russ Altman, Stanford University School of Medicine Morris Collen, MD, Kaiser Permanente (Emeritus) Milton Corn, MD, National Library of Medicine Charles Friedman, University of Pittsburgh Center for Biomedical Informatics Edward Shortliffe, MD, Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, ColumbiaPresbyterian Medical Center Moderator: Theodore Allan Morris, Kent State University Kathleen Millington, Y'vonne Gray, Lauren Harrison, Nancy Blase, Bambang Parmento, Debra Revere, Theodore Morris -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
