The goal of the informatics society is to provide a forum for members to interact and exchange ideas. Emphasis is placed on critical communication, management, education, and research needs.
Members have the opportunity to network and benefit from many areas of expertise.
Meetings include opportunities to discuss past, current and future healthcare issues and computer technology. Members learn to utilize informatics to benefit their clinical practice in support of health care delivery. The informatics adventure society is a fun way to learn and collaborate with other health care professionals. HIAS hosted the first informatic conference at GSU Feb 1999. McPherson, Heather Cartmill discussed the Intranet vs. the Internet.
