Exton, PA
The New Jersey and Delaware Valley Chapters of
the national Healthcare Information Management Systems Society (HIMSS) have
joined forces to bring regional health information technology professionals
together for a two day regional conference entitled The Healthcare
Technology Evolution: Smarter Solutions for Better Patient Care on
September 18-19, 2008 at Caesars Hotel
and Casino in Atlantic City.
“In recent years healthcare
institutions have been falling on harder times with funding cuts and public
neglect that have forced record hospital closures throughout our region,” said
Joe Carr, CIO of the New Jersey Hospital Association and one of the event
coordinators. “Like Atlantic City needed gaming, healthcare needs information
technology to help invigorate a new age in the healthcare industry bringing
improved quality, increased safety and greater efficiency to patient care.”
This regional HIMSS learning event promises to bring the best and brightest HIT
professionals together to share knowledge and to offer a vision for leveraging
technology to optimize patient care.
Keynote speakers include:
New Jersey State Assemblyman Herb Conaway, MD; Carla Smith, Senior Vice
President, HIMSS National; and Carlos Dominguez, Executive Vice President,
Cisco. Each day of the event will also include three distinct simultaneous
tracks, Community e-Health, Clinical Informatics and Core Information
Technologies, as well as excellent food and entertainment, a networking
reception, prize drawings and more. Each educational track is designed to offer
a complete and vigorous perspective. Atlantic City's dynamic new soul will offer
an impressive environment for regional HIT Professionals to learn, network,
collaborate, retool and have fun! For more information, please visit
