Thanks, Dr. Chute, (01)
We have settled on the third, and I am pleased that it looks like you
can join us at this point. However, while I am going to include you
on the webpage I am building for this event on the ontolog wiki, I
would appreciate a confirmation or at least the most advance notice
you can manage at this point if you find yourself in a conflict and
can't attend. (02)
Also, as a reminder, we would like 3-5-7/8(at most, please) slides
introducing yourself and your work and affiliations in the healthcare
informatics field specifically, as well as your primary medical
career. Please plan on 5-10 mins for your brief introductory
presentation. We will add your slides to combined set we have already
compiled, and I will be producing a transcript and a summary report
for this second panel discussion as I have for the first one. Of
course, I am still working on the summary, but I have managed the
transcipt. (03)
Thanks, again. We all look forward to hearing your viewpoint. Also,
if you could reply-to-all to this message, we would appreciate it. We
try to keep our communications on the list so we can always check the
archives in case we lose our own email archives (as I have had happen
to me not too long ago). (04)
Regards,
Rex (05)
