I attended the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists Midyear Clinical meeting last week. Located in Las Vegas, it was sure to be a non-stop and exhausting experience. I tried to concentrate on making it to all of the Informatics related educational and forum meetings. I was pleased to see a large number of sessions. I had the best time at the Informatics Section Advisory Group meeting. We got an update from some key pharmacists in critical areas of Informatics. Most of them have residency programs for informatics, and are heavily involved in academics and lectures. I am really looking forward to becoming involved with these folks. We are part of a movement that is critical to the development of safe, efficient, clinical pharmacy practice. I hope to help them mature the field of Informatics in Pharmacy. The biggest topics were CPOE, Coding Standards, Barcoding, Electronic Medication Administration Records, and Residency standards. Great Stuff!
