Whether one turns to data from the Centers for Disease Control\, advocacy organizations su ch as the American Cancer Society or from published research in the New England Journal of Medicine\, one finding resounds--more than 70% of wha t drives our health status is the result of the choices we make. Even wh en health is genetically predisposed there remain the choices we make to express this disposition. The Patient Activation Measure (PAM)\, develo ped by Dr. Judy Hibbard and colleagues at the University of Oregon\, was designed to assess the quintessential and largely untapped dimension of self-management competency. Research worldwide has validated the measur ement power of the PAM\, and the ability to use the PAM and its related body of behavioral insights\, to render care and support with greater ef fectiveness and efficiency. \;\n \;\nIn this session Chris Delane y\, CEO of Insignia Health\, will discuss the Patient Activation Measure from its development in academia to its commercialization through the w ork of Insignia Health. Learn about the formation of a company through t he support of technology transfer at the University of Oregon\, the deve lopment of a product portfolio designed to activate consumers in their h ealth\, and the growth of a company whose clients now include more than 30 leading organizations\, including Johns Hopkins Healthcare\, Mayo Cli nic\, OHSU/Health Future\, Providence\, AstraZeneca and CareOregon. \;\n \;\nSpeaker Bio \;\n \;\nChris Delaney is the Chief Execut ive of Insignia Health\, a Portland based company founded in 2006 throug h the technology transfer from the University of Oregon of the Patient A ctivation Measure and related intellectual property. Prior to Insignia\, Chris was part of the founding group and Chief Marketing Officer for De finity Health. Definity\, which was acquired by United HealthGroup at th e close of 2004\, pioneered account based HSA and HRA health benefit des igns\, as well as a number of Web innovations\, including data-driven pe rsonalized messaging and cost and quality transparency. \;\n \;\n After leaving Definity in February\, 2005\, Chris became a founding part ner of the Sequoi Group\, a consultancy specializing in consumer-driven healthcare and the emerging role of the consumer across the healthcare s ystem. Sequoi worked with a host of Fortune 500 companies to develop cap abilities supportive of greater consumer engagement in their health. Chr is has served as an advisor to various healthcare companies\, including Healthline\, a pioneer in medically-guided Internet search and informati on therapy. \;\n \;\nPrior to Definity\, Chris spent 12 years in executive level brand management positions with The Pillsbury Company\, Health Valley Foods\, and Dreyer's &\; Edy's Grand Ice Cream.

Since there is no cost\, y ou will NOT have to provide credit card information. \;\nSoftware pro cess improvement efforts often focus on the common methods of process as sessment\, redesign\, development\, and deployment. Often overlooked - o r\, perhaps more accurately\, not openly discussed - are the cultural\, structural\, and political forces that can have a significant impact on the success of the process improvement effort. These elements - culture\ , structure\, and politics - can be modeled as the fundamental component s of an integrated\, interdependent system that\, in effect\, represents or surrounds the working environment. \;\n \;\nThis presentation offers a conceptual overview of the cultural\, structural\, political (C uSP) model\, with a deeper examination of the cultural aspects. A select ion of thinking tools are provided that can be used to gain a deeper lev el of understanding of the cultural forces inherent in the working envir onment. Greater understanding leads to an improved ability to detect\, m anage\, and influence the direction of these forces to better enable and drive software process improvement. The audience is encouraged to parti cipate\, so feel free to come prepared with questions that you have on c ulture within your team\, your organization\, or the software developmen t community. \;\n \;\nSpeaker Bio: \;\n \;\nAlfredo Zangara works with the Learning Solutions Team within the Corporate Platform Off ice at Intel Corporation.

Why exporting is important. \;\n2. The basics of internati onal business. \;\n3. Where to go for help -- with a focus on the Ore gon's trade services group. \;\n \;\nAbstract: \;\n \;\nAs l arge as the global economic meltdown is\, it won't significantly change the dynamics of an even larger economic trend -- the development of emer ging economies and the waning share of the U.S. market relative to the r est of the world. It is clearer than ever that businesses must go global to follow market trends. \;\n \;\nDespite tough economic times\, one small Oregon company is about to open its first European office. Ano ther has increased its sales 75% with the help of a contract in Saudi Ar abia. Still another company has just returned from a trade show in Germa ny with several new distributors signed. \;\n \;\nThe benefits fro m increasing international presence include growth opportunities\, marke t diversification\, and increased competitiveness. Despite the benefits\ , we still encounter resistance to overseas marketing. A sale abroad wil l cost more\, take more time and involve more risk than a domestic trans action. Fortunately\, a host of resources are available to help business es overcome these challenges. \;\n \;\nThis presentation will go o ver some of the reasons for going global\, review some trends in global trade\, and go over some of the resources available from state and feder al governments to help businesses increase their revenue through exporti ng. \;\n \;\nSpeaker Bio: \;\n \;\nTom DiCorcia is an Intern ational Trade Officer at the Oregon Economic and Community Development D epartment. Tom helps Oregon businesses in high technology and bioscience s sell more products overseas through consultation\, market research\, a nd industry-focused trade missions. \;\n \;\nPrior to moving to Or egon\, Tom was Asia Pacific marketing director at Arbortext - a Norwest VC funded software firm that was acquired by PTC in 2005. Working from T okyo\, Tom managed a network of resellers in Japan\, South Korea\, Taiwa n and Australia. Before Arbortext\, Tom held product marketing positions with Fuji Xerox\, Xerox and Hewlett-Packard. \;\n \;\nTom has an engineering degree from Stanford\, an MBA in marketing/international bus iness from NYU\, and is completing a master's of engineering degree from Michigan. Tom has studied at Bocconi University in Milan and has lived in Asia for extended periods. He speaks Japanese and Italian. \n\nImport ed from: http://calagator.org/events/1250456537 URL:http://www.cpd.ogi.edu/coursespecific.asp?pam=2434 SUMMARY:IEEE PACE: Why Now may be the Time to Develop Overseas Markets LOCATION:OHSU West Campus (formerly OGI)\, Wilson Clark Center : 20000 Nw Walker Rd\, Beaverton OR 97006 US SEQUENCE:0 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090115T203122Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090219T180000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090219T150000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090115T203122Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090115T210420Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250456511 DESCRIPTION:Professional Technology Career Fair \;\nSponsored by: \ ;\nSoftware Association of Oregon - IEEE - OHSU - Pacific NW Tech \;\ n \;\nWhen: \;\nThursday\, February 19\, 2009\, from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. \;\n \;\nWhere: \;\nOHSU School of Science and Engineering \;\nWilson Clark Center \;\n20000 NW Walker Road \;\nBeaverton \, OR 97006 \;\n \;\nThis career fair is an open forum in which NW technology companies\, \;\nentrepreneurs\, and small to medium busin ess owners are seeking \;\nexperienced professionals to fill hundreds of their jobs. \;\n \;\nIEEE Oregon Section\, OHSU-OGI\, and the Software Association of Oregon are co-sponsoring this high-tech career f air. \;\n \;\nThe Fair is FREE to professionals who are seeking jo bs. \;\n \;\nEmployers and career seekers for information visit us online at: \;\nwww.pacificnwtech.org \;\n\n\nImported from: http: //calagator.org/events/1250456511 URL:http://www.pacificnwtech.org SUMMARY:Professional Technology Career Fair LOCATION:OHSU West Campus (formerly OGI)\, Wilson Clark Center : 20000 Nw Walker Rd\, Beaverton OR 97006 US SEQUENCE:0 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090214T232520Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090224T200000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090224T190000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090214T232520Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090215T001046Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250456701 DESCRIPTION: * Introduction to Olympus Controls and the Cognex Insight Smart Camera. \;\n * Constructing vision solutions with the EasyB uilder application. \;\n * Example selections of optimal optics\, lighting\, and vision tools. \;\n * Interfacing to industrial robo ts and PLCs. \;\n \;\n \;\nSpeaker Bios: \;\n \;\nJason M cDaniel has been an automation engineer with Olympus Controls since 1998 .

During thre e years Elizabeth Lions met with over 3\,000 hiring managers and intervi ewed hundreds of high tech candidates\, many of them with engineering or science skill sets. Her background is in psychology with a strong focus in Organizational Development. \;\n \;\nA major finding uncovered was that the unemployed all shared a common fear of being out of work f or a period of time. Some struggled with finding a new job\, or they did n�t know how to write their resume because they had been employed in the ir last job for many years. Some suffered with the difficulty of going t hrough the interview process and were uncomfortable selling themselves i n front of a manager. All expressed having low confidence from being out of work\, which compounded the ability to find the new job. \;\n \;\nDuring this presentation\, you will learn how to tell if your positi on is in jeopardy and will learn practical steps on how to find your nex t opportunity\, how to write a resume and how to get through the intervi ew process with confidence. \;\n \;\nSpeaker Bio: \;\n \;\nE lizabeth Lions studied psychology at the University of Maine. With a str ong background in recruiting\, negotiating and counseling\, Elizabeth st arted her own consulting business as a career coach nearly 8 years ago.
