Last week, a group of Perficient colleagues attended a conference for the Healthcare Information and Management System Society (HIMSS). Liza Sisler (@lizasisler, and she also tweets on behalf of @Perficient_HC) connected with several influential social media pioneers in Healthcare IT prior to the conference and was able to gain time with four individuals to shoot short but informative interviews. She asked each of them about the most significant developments and experiences at HIMSS. Here are all four videos, each one short enough to enjoy. Let us know what you think of each individual’s comments.
