AuntMinnie – Mar. 3, 2014 – At just under 39,000 attendees, participation
in the HiMSS 2014 in Orlando, FL, was the highest in the organization’s history
and was up 12.5 percent over the 2013 edition of the show. The show featured
1,233 vendors and occupied more than 500,000 sq ft of exhibit space. There were
more than 5,500 C-suite and senior management attendees, with close to that
same number of IT professionals. Attendance for those key decision-makers for
IT-related purchases was up 18.8 percent over last year, while attendance of
other IT professionals who recommend those purchases was up 17 percent,
according to the HiMSS.

increase their visibility with referring physicians if they want to ensure the
future health of their specialty. One way to do that is by integrating

AuntMinnie – Feb. 6, 2014 –The trend has been to move away from having individualized data silos for each clinical system and toward a centralized data repository (CDR). There are a host of reasons behind this. Not only does ongoing support cost play a huge factor, but which CDR to pick usually requires a fairly extensive evaluation process. Things that need to be factored in include facilities archive requirements, as well as disaster recovery and even business continuity plans. This too requires IT involvement.
