HIMSS is currently developing a new and improved web site. To that end, the kick-off work effort of the Task Force this year will be to review the existing content currently available in the HIE Toolkit. We’re seeking volunteers with experience reviewing and updating content, an interest in contributing to this exciting effort, and availability in August/September to reach this first milestone before we dig into the creation of new content for the HIE Toolkit. After this effort, the Task Force will focus on the development of impactful tools for the HIMSS HIE Toolkit, focusing on such Meaningful Use and information exchange, business and sustainability, technical architecture strategies, and other areas of importance for HIOs/HIEs. The Toolkits exist to provide a solid and extensive body of dynamic information on health information exchange, including timely information around some of the most important national and state level activities. This Task Force meets monthly by phone with HIMSS staff, and is open to all HIMSS members. We’re also looking for volunteers for other FY13 Task Forces and Workgroups—take a look at our committee membership page any time to see which opportunities are available. The first call for the Toolkit Task Force will be held on Thursday, Aug. 16, from 1 pm-2 pm (ET). Please contact Julie Moffitt at the e-mail link above to get involved. More info: [email protected]
