Healthcare IT News creates a 'room of one's own' for women in health IT
The results of a 2015 HIMSS survey of 20,000 women in health IT on workplace, job satisfaction, recognition and opportunities to move up – coupled with another on salaries for women in this field compared with compensation for men – spoke clearly to HIMSS Executive Vice President Carla Smith.
Both surveys revealed pressing needs for resources and community for women in health IT.
As part of a robust strategy, Healthcare IT News launched a dedicated section of the website "a room of one's own," so to speak – exclusively focused on news, career advice, profiles, success stories and recognition of women in health IT and the issues that are most pressing. In addition, a Women in Health IT newsletter is being launched. Be part of the conversation and receive monthly updates on the progress being made to close the gender gap in health IT.
HIE Data Terms Glossary Puts Healthcare Community on Same Page #EmpowerHIT
Close your eyes and imagine with me a healthcare delivery continuum in which the clinical data collected at every patient-provider interaction is routinely available to the patient and to all relevant care team members.
Further, what if patient data were securely sent and received by each provider as the patient requires care? Read more…

HIE Patient Engagement Case Studies
Patient engagement in healthcare has recently become a priority as the nation moves toward achieving improved patient outcomes… The 2016 HIMSS HIE inPractice Task Force embarked on this initiative to discover ways that Health Information Exchanges (HIEs) implement, collaborate, and engage patients on behalf of the HIE.
The HIMSS Task Force decided that the best way to accomplish this would be to highlight what others have done and share their success strategies and lessons learned.

HIE Sustainability Models Survey Results and Analysis
From the HIMSS HIE inPractice Task Force, the goal of the HIE Sustainability Models Survey was to aggregate the collective wisdom of HIE organizations that have achieved sustainability and distill it into a set of guidelines for the HIMSS HIE Community.
With the goal of identifying high-value services and conveying guidance on how to implement those services, drive their adoption and quantify return on investment (ROI).

The organization employs a robust connected health strategy leveraging telehealth, clinical informatics and patient engagement to create a continuum of care.
Leveraging Emerging Standards for Patient Engagement
Patients are playing an increasingly important role in creating relevant healthcare data about themselves using mobile devices and applications.
It is important this data can move with them securely throughout a healthcare ecosystem.
The increased use of medical devices and mobile applications opens the dialogue around open source and non-proprietary standards with complementing policies.

Virtual Event: New HIMSS Podcast STEPS to Value Episode- Creating Value for Caregivers from HIT
Health Information Technology is firmly within the domain of those who provide health care.
Physicians, nurses and others document our care encounters.
Increasingly, however, we hear of creating a patient-centric health care system, and a lot of smart people are trying to figure out this thing we call “patient engagement.” Is there a role for patients and their families in the provision of care? How can we leverage technology to do that? In this episode, we hear from a caregiver on how health IT supports & doesn’t
support caring for her parents in their fight against Alzheimer’s disease.
For more information on the HIMSS STEPS™ framework, visit http://www.himss.org/valuesuite.
Share your thoughts, your own value story or ask a question at value@himss.org.
