WID, the Holtz Center for Science & Technology Studies and the UW–Madison Office of University Relations are offering a free public dialogue exploring electronic medical records (EMRs), a rapidly disseminating technology with great potential impact. Consumers and patients are vital contributors to the conversation of healthcare and how these technologies can be used effectively and for the public good.
Enabled by the financial support of the Holtz Center for Science & Technology Studies, the panel will feature questions harvested from town meetings in public libraries around the state of Wisconsin the week of April 21, 2014, in Platteville, Appleton, Waukesha and Eau Claire. Learn more. Anyone can submit EMR questions via email or phone (608) 890-1334.
Location: H.F. DeLuca Forum, Discovery Building, 330 N. Orchard St.
Cost: Free and open to the public
