This week, we have a large team of Perficient consultants and experts attending the HIMSS conference in Atlanta. As an IT consulting services provider, we partner closely with companies like Oracle, Microsoft, IBM and others who are extremely active in IT solutions for the healthcare industry.

In honor of the social media focus the conference has had, we’re providing for you a list of very active and influential Twitter folks who tweet about Healthcare IT. These are people we follow on Twitter and people we admire and respect for the value they contribute to the industry. We tweet at @Perficient_HC pretty much every day. Whether you are a healthcare IT professional who is just getting started on Twitter or you’ve been active for a while but you’re looking to break into the most active communities in the space, this list should be a great kick-start for you:
