On behalf of the Manitoba eHealth Conference Program Committee:

Save the date: the Manitoba eHealth conference is scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 31, 2012 at the Victoria Inn in Winnipeg. Our theme for 2012, On the Right Track, sets the stage for dialogue about how far our province has come and where we are going. We hope that you will consider attending what is sure to be another exciting and informative conference this year.

We have attached a call for abstracts for the conference presentations, which you can also access at http://www.manitoba-ehealth.ca/conference/conf2012Abstracts.html. We encourage you to distribute it to your team members to see if any projects or programs meet the submission guidelines, as it is a great opportunity to share your successes on a provincial level. The deadline for submissions is May 25, 2012.

Keep checking the Manitoba eHealth website at www.manitoba-ehealth.ca for more information about the conference.
