The biennial HIMSS Compensation Survey is the definitive resource for healthcare information technology (HIT) professionals to compare compensation packages. The survey, conducted by HIMSS (Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society), provides overall statistics for trends in the industry, while offering demographic information by facility budget, facility type, geographic region, gender, length of service and professional level.

HIMSS members have exclusive access to an on-line salary calculator. This calculator provides powerful benchmarking information; simply enter characteristics (such as job title, gender or geographic region) into the calculator for an average salary for other individuals who hold similar positions. To access this calculator, please use the “member login” link.

Individuals who are not HIMSS members may also access a summary of the data. Click on the full report option to view a two-page summary document. Or, for $140, you can join HIMSS. Not only will this give you access to the on-line salary calculator, but it will also enable you to have all the rights and privileges of a HIMSS member. For this option, choose “become a member”.
