Didn you also do a session on consumer health informatics at the 1993 Annual meeting of the American Medical Informatics Association?
A. On October 31, 1993, Warner Slack and I presented a half-day tutorial entitled “Consumer Health Informatics: Bringing the Patient into the Loop” at the AMIA annual meeting in Washington DC. Charles Safran, who was organizing the AMIA meeting that year, made a special point of inviting presentations on IT tools for patients. As far as I know, the first use of the term in AMIA records was the announcement of that tutorial and the first AMIA publication on CHI was the manual Dr. Slack and I prepared for that session.
