Finding local nursing informatics groups

I have seen multiple posts with suggestions to join local nursing informatics groups in order to learn about the field of NI and network. I live in Seattle and have searched online but only found national organizations. How do you find the locals? I am a BSN/RN with 4 years acute care experience and have developed a real passion for improving the usability of software for RNs.

Thanks for the info! The topic for the Feb26 presentation sounds interesting, I just joined the PSNI listserv to keep up with future programs. Is 'Patient Centered Technologies' another term for applications like epic? Or would that refer to something along the lines of healthvault or google health

Greetings Noxi,

Your local NI organization is the PSNI (Puget Sound Nursing Informatics) group which can be found by going to:
http://www.psniwa.org/page1.aspx
They are having trouble with the web site as the program listed is an old one from 2008.
You just missed the most recent program, Feb 26 (Titled:"Clinical Informatics and Patient Centered Technologies") but I am sure there will be another one in a few months.

Hello...do you know of any groups in California, Central Valley, area? Thanks!
