A word from the Physician Committee Chair
"Looking at this year’s committee roster, HIMSS has assembled an exceptional group of physicians with expertise in both clinical care and informatics. I am honored to be chosen to lead this committee. We will leverage our collective expertise to provide leadership and guidance to improve the effective use of our current health information technology as well as advance the application new innovations to the delivery of high quality and safe care."
William W. Feaster, MD, MBA, HIMSS Physician Committee Chair, FY20
Physicians and Technology
Physicians around the world are increasingly under pressure to improve the quality, cost-effectiveness, and safety of patient care. Patients are demanding a different type of clinical encounter, and physicians are experiencing new requirements to adopt and use information technologies that are expensive and, neither intuitive nor user-friendly. Decisions about how care is to be delivered, paid for, and evaluated, are being made at the highest levels, without a cogent, unified physician-created IT roadmap.
Join Us
HIMSS is building a community that all physicians can leverage to profoundly influence the transformation of healthcare.
