Lunch for the strategic planning meeting will now be planned for 25 people, based on input from today’s meeting.
Other reports were wrapped into the following discussions:
Strategic Planning Meeting
Friday’s strategic planning meeting is a two-part meeting. The first part will be the annual meeting: what have we done and how have we done it. The balance will be an open discussion of what we want to accomplish in the next two years and how we will measure our success. Helen will bring special drinkables including champagne. Alicia will provide additional drinkables and coffee. Deli sandwiches, fruit and cookies will be provided for lunch.
Friday’s annual meeting portion will proceed with establishing the chapter’s overall direction from Helen, as well as input from the officers and board.
Ron would like to put some flyers at the Cerner Users Group.
Rick provided a layout to all of us in email so our slides will be uniform in presentation.
ACTION ITEM: Everyone will create slides for Friday.
We will each either put together copies of our slides, or send them to Helen. Ron was going to do hard copy slides and not use the projector. Chris and Rick will send slides to Helen by tomorrow. Alicia will share with the group and print her slides.

Northern Michigan Conference
The Summer Conference topic will be: Practical Uses of Emerging Technology. It is to be held on July 31 – August 1 in the Petosky / Traverse City area. A reception will be held the evening of Wednesday, July 30 for early arrivers.
We need to determine the cost of the conference and where it will be held. Jeff Bauer has offered to do the keynote. Jeff is with Superior and among other things, is involved in telemedicine. Helen believes he is presenting a similar topic at the HIMSS Summer conference. Jeff is involved in a PACS project with Marquette General and the Upper Peninsula Health Care Network. Joel Marion may also be available, perhaps as a panelist. Elaine will be checking with Marquette as well.
Chris opened the discussion on what we will pay for travel costs of the speakers. We will cover their room, board and golf. Additionally, we will then see what people are asking for on an individual basis as far as travel goes. We will also give them a small gift as we have done before.
Eclipsys and IDX are both interested in helping sponsor the summer conference.
Chris mentioned the possibility of involving a local development group regarding their emerging technologies and methodologies. We will consider this and talk more about it on Friday..
Helen and Ron in particular have been soliciting ideas for keynote and other presentations and we will talk more to people on Friday about their interest and suggestions.
General Discussion
There are still unresolved billing issues with Telusys. Rick and Chris continue to resolve these items.
New email for Jim is jdbrown48306@hotmail.com
ACTION ITEM: Helen will send her bio to Jim.
ACTION ITEM: Jim will update the web site to include the March meeting (even after the fact) and will put a preview note for the upcoming northern Michigan Summer Conference.
Future Agenda Items
Determine methods to archive all HIMSS data permanently in anticipation of handing off to future HIMSS officers.
MI-HIMSS Supermarket. This would be a mini-exposition of Michigan vendors. We would group by technology, which is where the Supermarket concept comes from—for example, CPOE vendors are in one area, EMR vendors in another, Security is in another, etc. We would bring in vendors and allow them to present separately, perhaps even a technology face-off, as well as provide the expo. We expressed some concern regarding HIMSS National feelings about this type of event.
HIMSS Speaker Assistance Program
Working with Ann Arbor office to publicize programs and get their assistance.
