ONC At HIMSS:

Where Health Care and IT Meet - 

The Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) will be hosting its 11^thannual conference in Orlando, February 20 to 24, 2011. The HIMSS conference provides an opportunity for the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) to connect with almost 30,000 health information technology (health IT) professionals, health care executives, and providers.   As in the past, ONC will participate in the conference and reach out to all stakeholders closely involved in developing and implementing health IT solutions for our nation's health care providers.

ONC plans to build upon this year's HIMSS theme –Linking People, Potential, and Progress – to discuss how innovation is leading the way to a higher quality, safer, and more efficient health care system enabled by health IT.
