National Health IT Week started Monday, in Washington, DC, and will continue through Friday. More than 260 organizations have signed on as Partners of National Health IT Week 2012. Click here for a calendar of activities, along with a Toolkit full of ideas on how you can help your community recognize the benefits of health IT. You can also check out this HIMSS blog post on National Health IT Week, which features in-depth descriptions of many of the themes of the event.
In addition, HIMSS will close out National Health IT Week by moderating the HL7 Standards’ weekly #HITsm Twitter chat on Friday, Sept. 14 at 11 am (CT). The chat will serve as an opportunity for the greater health IT community to identify trends in consumers’ use of technology in the ownership and betterment of their healthcare. Twitter users are invited to participate by logging in to the #HITsm chat room and engaging in dialogue with other health IT thought leaders from a number of settings within the industry.
