DI Users Conference
October 14 - 15, 2010
Nashville, TN
Pre-Conference sessions will be offered on Wednesday,
October 13th.
DI's Annual Conference
The DI Users Conference (UC) is an annual
event that provides DI's trauma registry users with unique software training
and networking opportunities. Led by DI's management and support teams, the
event features lecture and hands-on learning workshops, discussion sessions and
informational guest speaker presentations and extensive networking
opportunities.
The first UC was held in Toronto, Canada in
August of 1995. That first year, 14 users of the Collector Trauma Registry
software initiated what has become the the highlight of the year. Now heading
into our 16th year, the event has become an annual highlight for professionals
working in numerous areas of the trauma field. The growing attendance has
enable to offer more options during each training session, meeting the needs of
an increasingly diverse user base!
There are many reasons people return for the
conference each year. Learning new skills, refreshing skills, and gaining
insight as to how their colleagues are handling issues similar to their own are
just a few. Other popular reasons include the renewing friendships and the
opportunitues to explore the exciting cities that serve as our host
locations.
2010 Workshop Descriptions
Pre-Conference: October 13th
Novice users can opt to participate in DI's pre-conference
day to learn registry and report writing basics. The Pre-Conference agenda will
include training on software basics, for Collector, NTRACS and Outcomes
products. Each of these tracks is designed to prepare users for the
full-conference sessions and also includes extensive lab time for hands-on
skills practice.
Full Conference: October 14th & 15th
New training sessions, industry specific workshops and
guest speaker presentations are planned for the 2010 conference as well as
several requested favorite workshops loaded with new examples. Special
workshops will also focus on the needs of regional, state, and central-site
personnel as well as for those who work with the software from a technical
support perspective. Workshops will be available for users of the Collector,
NTRACS trauma, and Outcomes registry software products. The event is a forum
through which you can increase your registry skills, report writing skills and
discover how to make a significant positive impact on local, regional, national
and international trauma programs.
Continuing Education Credit
Attendees may request a certificate of completion which
lists the total number of CEU's that may be awarded, depending upon the your
credit requirements. DI is once again planning to submit our application for
approved to award continuing education credit through the American Nursing
Credentialing Council.
Networking Night
Need some time to relax, meet some new folks or find a
group to head out for an evening on the town? Then be sure to join us for the
last stop on Thursday's agenda, at Networking Night. It's become a conference
favorite, and although it would be hard to top our 2009 entertainer, Dennis
Schockett, we'll see if we can find someone near his caliber. After all, we
will be in the "Music City!" |
