User Centric has joined the American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA) as a 2012 Corporate Member. This partnership with AMIA, an influential professional society in healthcare, will further enrich User Centric’s healthcare expertise. Most recently, in addition to two key papers already published by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), User Centric Managing Director Robert Schumacher led a group and delivered guidance for the evaluation and validation testing of electronic health record applications to be released in January 2012.
AMIA is a professional scientific association that was formed over 35 years ago by the merger of three organizations in 1989: the American Association for Medical Systems and Informatics (AAMSI); the American College of Medical Informatics (ACMI); and the Symposium on Computer Applications in Medical Care (SCAMC). Today, AMIA is the bridge for knowledge and collaboration across a continuum, from basic and applied research to the consumer and public health arenas.
