Mark your calendars and PDAs. The Science, Technology, and Health Care 
Roundtable meeting will take place on Saturday, August 23, at 8 a.m. The 
meeting will consist of Roundtable business (including election of a new 
co-chair), and a program.

The program will feature a discussion of archival repositories' compliance 
with the Privacy Rule of HIPAA. Archivists from 3 major academic health 
centers (Nancy McCall from the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions, Steve 
Novak from Columbia University Medical Center, and Tim Pennycuff from the 
University of Alabama at Birmingham) will each present an overview of the 
policies their repositories have implemented, and assess how these policies 
in practice meet the challenges of the HIPAA legislation. There will be 
opportunity for roundtable members to share information about their own 
experiences with HIPAA compliance.

The STHC meeting will conclude with a Roundtable Roundrobin/STHC Slam, in 
which attendees get 3 minutes apiece to pitch their repositories, 
organizations, projects, products, problems, and ideas.

I look forward to seeing you in Los Angeles.

Lisa A. Mix, co-chair
