You’re likely reading this on one of the last days of the HIMSS annual conference, or maybe just as it’s ended. If you attended HIMSS this year, you might be suffering from PHES (Post-HIMSS Exhaustion Syndrome). And before you go where I know you’re going, let me cut you off and tell you that I do not know the proper ICD-10-CM code for PHES.
What a week it was at the HIMSS18 Annual Conference & Exhibition! If you haven’t been to a healthcare conference in Vegas, then you don’t know what you’re missing. More than 40,000 healthcare professionals from around the globe – physicians, nurses, caregivers, technology professionals, executives, and vendors – converged on the Sands Expo and Convention Center for a week of networking, education, and sharing perspectives on the trends, initiatives, and advances that are shaping health information technology and how care is delivered and received. There was so much going on, the energy was palatable, and it’s impossible to look back and not feel like there was something we didn’t get to see while at this year’s HIMSS conference.
As another HIMSS conference is in the books, it’s time for me to reflect on what I learned. Here goes nothing!
Good morning! I thought I was the only one getting an early start on HIMSS.
Avaap CMO Dr. Craig Joseph will be on-site at HIMSS 2018 discussing the latest trends, technologies and tools that enhance the experience with EHR. Visit Craig and the Avaap team in booth 12319 at HIMSS 2018.
Good morning! I thought I was the only one getting an early start on HIMSS.
One of the big themes of HIMSS 2018 will be, wait for it, interoperability. Now, I know what you’re saying, “Hasn’t that been a big theme for the last five years? You can’t be serious.”
Well, it has been, and I can be. We are still not there yet.
From the perspective of physician leaders, the HIMSS 2017 meeting was overwhelming (as always!) There are always more sessions to attend and more vendors with whom to visit than is humanly possible, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have fun trying.
Avaap recently exhibited at HIMSS 2017, the largest and most important healthcare IT conference in the U.S. We had a great week of deep discussions with clinical and business leaders about EHR and ERP technologies and trends impacting the healthcare industry. One of the most exciting things about HIMSS week is seeing what is top-of-mind for healthcare IT professionals and how healthcare technology is improving exponentially.
