Keynote speaker Kenneth Mandl, MD, MPH, will describe critical issues related to the development and implementation of EHRs, including health information technology (HIT) initiatives, meaningful use of electronic health records, and how libraries may be involved in the effort to link evidence to clinical information systems.

There will be time for questions from the attendees. Participants will:
