Bringing together healthcare thought leaders from across the HIMSS community.

Advance global policy with us

The HIMSS Public Policy Committee brings healthcare thought leaders together across the HIMSS community, working closely with the HIMSS government relations team to advance policy by collaborating with government officials around the world.

Expanding its scope to reflect HIMSS global policy engagement, the committee recommends policy positions on pending legislation and regulations, with the aim of reforming the global health ecosystem through the power of information and technology.


The committee develops resources that leverage partnerships to:

  • Encourage networking between peers and experts representing the global government sector

  • Improve processes and technologies within healthcare systems around the world
  • Advance educational opportunities and professional advancement
