Public Policy Committee

HIMSS mobilizes its members and seeks to perform multiple levels of advocacy activities through a variety of initiatives.  In addition, HIMSS works closely with key federal decision-makers and the 21st Century Health Care Caucus to advance improvements in the quality, safety and efficiency of healthcare through the use of IT and management systems.  HIMSS’ primary advocacy focus is to provide leadership and industry direction on healthcare issues and policy in order to remove barriers and enable implementation of solutions.
