      IS 461/661 Health Informatics - II will introduce the senior and
      graduate students to the applications of biomedical informatics. The
      students will learn about electronic health records, health information
      infrastructure, management of information in healthcare organizations,
      patient centered care systems, public health informatics, and telehealth
      along with other important application areas. The information provided
      in this course is crucial for students who may want to participate in
      the health IT organizations at any capacity. The students will also gain
      an opportunity to gain more in-depth knowledge in a topic they choose to
      further explore within a team formation.
      </p>
    
      <p>
      The contents of the course are as follows (the last two depending on
      time):
      </p>

    <span>by Craig Berger and David Hoffman</span><br><span><br></span><span>Let's crowdsource a list of some of the best activities, courses, dining options, places, hidden resources, musical groups, etc. at UMBC. "Best" is entirely a matter of opinion, of course, but here's a chance to share your own and discover others'. The format is: Make up three categories and name UMBC's "best" in each category.</span><br><span><br>Craig's "Best of UMBC" List:</span><br><ul>
    <li><span>Best Course: Civic Agency and Social Entrepreneurship (POLI/AMST/SOCY 205)</span></li>
    <li><span>Best Welcome Week Activity: Convocation (including the walk there!)</span></li>
    <li><span>Best Dessert in the Skylight Room: Banana Cream Pudding/Pie (whatever it is, it is topped with vanilla wafers and delicious)</span></li>
    </ul>
    <div>
    <span>David's "Best of UMBC" List:</span><br><ul>
    <li><span>Best Emergent UMBC Network: The rapidly growing coalition of students, faculty and staff members doing creative work around food systems and food justice.</span></li>
    <li><span>Best Stairwell: There are so many good ones, indoors and out; some gorgeous, others merely convenient and tucked away. But my favorite ascends from the UC Plaza, past the Meyerhoff, Fine Arts and ECS buildings (and one of the oldest public art pieces on campus), then past one of the three Retriever Project statues toward the Performing Arts &amp; Humanities Building's side door.</span></li>
    <li><span>Best Perk of being a Member of the UMBC Community: Access to the Albin O. Kuhn Library's collection of books, journals, online subscriptions, DVDs ...</span></li>
