Did you attend the Healthcare Information and Management
Systems Society (HIMSS) conference this year? HIMSS, an organization that focuses
on advancing the use of IT and management systems to improve health care, highlighted
a clinical engineering symposium and stated, “The environment of change is upon
clinical engineers. Those taking proactive steps to understand the new rules
and incentives, and to prepare for their impact, will be best positioned for
the future. Clinical engineering and IT must design a seamless service and
technology support system.”
What was the Interoperability Showcase like? Did you see any
innovative technologies? What helpful ideas did you take away from the clinical
engineering symposium or the overall conference? We hope you’ll connect with your colleagues here to share your
experiences.
