The completely redesigned complimentary HIMSS Pulse on Public Policy is a concise, easy to read e-newsletter published exclusively as a member benefit every 2nd and 4th Thursday for HIMSS’ members, federal, state and local policymakers and their staff, federal regulators and other interested stakeholders.   

The Pulse on Public Policy is now “five resources in one” designed exclusively for you, the HIMSS member, to be your one-stop resource for timely insight into what is really happening in Washington and around the nation related to the healthcare information technology (HIT) field and how it might affect you.
