Initiated in 2006 by HIMSS, National Health IT Week has emerged as a landmark occasion for using health IT as part of the overall solution to improve America’s healthcare as a bipartisan, federally led, market driven initiative.
Participants —vendors, provider organizations, payers, pharmaceutical/biotech companies, government agencies, industry/professional associations, research foundations, and consumer protection groups— are working together to elevate national attention to the value of advancing health IT. As a collaborative forum, NHIT Week serves as a neutral platform upon which public and private healthcare constituents can raise awareness about the value of health IT among industry leaders and policymakers; the week will feature a variety of local and regional activities sponsored by organizations from Maine to Hawaii. In Washington, D.C., events include the 10th Annual HIMSS Policy Summit, a Capitol Hill press conference, professional development seminars, and more.
