Important transformations are occurring in the healthcare payer space. While numerous, these transformations can best be summarized by the fact that a major shift has taken place in the critical role of payers in the overall healthcare system. This shift is from the payer playing predominately the role of "transaction manager" to one of becoming a true healthcare "informediary" for the purpose of partnering in care delivery to improve health outcomes. HIMSS builds on its extensive educational resources and expertise in key healthcare information technology issues to support the payer community as it works toward the goal of improving health outcomes and quality care in a cost-effective manner through leveraging health information and health IT.
