Relationship map

Nick continues to lead the work on a four-dimensional relationship map that reflects the kinds of organizations we want to connect and collaborate with, and the organizations we compete with. The Executive Committee will submit names of organizations to Nick and we will ask the membership to contribute as well.

AMIA symposium proposal

AMIA has offered SPM a few day passes to their Fall Conference in Washington D.C. We will offer these to our members who are located in the D.C. area.

Crowd Funding our Web Site

Carla has been investigating the opportunity for crowd funding a new web site. She will work with Julia to develop a strategy.

HIMSS

HIMSS has approached SPM and requested that we recommend an SPM member who could serve as a patient care-giver for their Patient Advisory Committee. They are also looking for other opportunities for collaboration. Members are welcome to contact the Executive Committee or Ileana Balcu with ideas.
