Dogs Rule, Cats Drool - Dr. Craig Joseph Talks Trends at HIMSS

Good morning! I thought I was the only one getting an early start on HIMSS.

Another theme for HIMSS 2018, I think, is going to be dogs. Now, I know a lot of people have been talking about cats lately, but I really think dogs are taking over.

HIMSS Trends 2018

Why? They’re man’s best friend. Woman’s best friend, too.

Cats have been a big thing. Cats were associated with meaningful use, everyone knows that. Remember HIMSS 2015? Everyone was just 100 percent cats. But I really see dogs gaining lead, 25-30 percent of HIMSS this year, and the cat population really going down.
