#HIMSS15 was tweeted 88,990 times last year, and the digital chatter on the latest health IT technologies, trends and solutions is shaping up to be just as strong via this year’s #HIMSS16 hashtag.
There was certainly no shortage of things to talk about in the Twittersphere today. Here are some of the happenings that had everyone tweeting:
#HealthITChicks
A growing community of women (and men) working in healthcare IT joined together for the annual #healthITchicks meetup and tweetup.
This wonderful group grows bigger every year. Awesome to see. #HealthITChicks #HIMSS16 cc #hcldr pic.twitter.com/X6iP1YT0gr
