HIMSS16 on the horizon
HIMSS16 is coming up next week and again promises an overwhelming amount of opportunities to learn and network.
I spoke with two of the people behind all the extensive planning needed to pull off such a huge yet timely event, and compiled a list of their suggestions. Read on to learn more about what’s new in the exhibit hall, the keynote addresses and educational sessions.
We also have some recommended sessions of our own. From interoperability to cybersecurity and new payment models to innovation, there’s something for everyone. Hundreds of exhibitors will showcase the latest in solutions addressing everything related to health IT. You can expect to hear from CMS Acting Administrator Andy Slavitt, National Coordinator Karen DeSalvo, MD, MPH, MSc, as well as leaders from providers all over the country who will share their experiences, lessons learned and advice.
Check back with Clinical Innovation + Technology regularly for updates on all the vendor announcements, government news, partnerships and much more. Best wishes for a successful, insightful and rewarding conference.
