Voices. For HIMSS.
“HIMSS is THE body that has been bringing together physicians, medical informaticians, academics, and vendors of all sorts and shapes for more than fifty years. The parallel with my own education and work is apparent: the need to bring different stakeholders on the same page; my long love for standards in this field - HL7, IHE, SNOMED CT; my firm belief that healthcare and well-being can be greatly enhanced by the application of information science and systems”.
