API Strategic Summit: The Future of Pathology Informatics and the LIS

Pittsburgh, June 7 and 8

The API will hold a strategic summit at the Wyndham Grand Pittsburgh Downtown in Pittsburgh PA. The summit will begin the evening of June 7th with a dinner and keynote address. On June 8th presentations by four speakers from our participating industry partners (Cerner, McKesson, Soft, and Sunquest) and seven informaticists will address a specified series of problem questions posed by the organizing committee and developed in conjunction with the speakers. API will distribute thirty "tickets" for the event to members and other invited guests based on willingness to attend, interest in the topic to be discussed, and a willingness to actively participate in the interaction of the speakers with the audience.

Lodging for the night of June 7 will be provided by the conference; travel costs to be assumed by the selected participants. This interactive session will be the first of its kind for the API, and will allow the participants to expand their knowledge and develop effective tactics and insights at this critical moment in our practice.
