Is Your Medical Information Available When and Where You Need It?

Please join us for a screening of the documentary film, No Matter Where: The quest to use technology to connect healthcare, which explores the vulnerabilities of antiquated health information systems and the actions doctors must take to store and access the information of their patients.

A reception with food and drinks will take place an hour prior to the screening with a panel discussion on the promise and practicalities of health information exchanges to follow.

This event is sponsored by the Master of Science in Biomedical Informatics program at the University of Chicago Graham School for Continuing Liberal and Professional Studies and the Center for Research Informatics at the University of Chicago.                  

Film Description:
