While many people likely left after Monday it hasn’t been obvious from the crowds on the exhibit floor and hallways. The only major difference I noticed was that there were fewer people in the education session I attended. However, one I attended was first thing in the morning and there have been vendor receptions each […]

One of the highlights for me this year at HIMSS is attending the educational sessions when I am not manning the Perficient Booth, #1555. I was fortunate to attend a session, “Managing Privacy and Security Challenges of Patient EHR Portals,” which focused on securing PHI (protected health information) in patient portals that really clarified some […]

I attended a session at the HIMSS 2013 Conference yesterday entitled, Healthcare Kaizen, Daily Improvement, Not Just Events that Mark Graban, MSME, MBA, presented. At a technology conference it was refreshing to hear how technology should not be the only focus to improving care. In today’s healthcare environment, big strategic initiatives are all the rage. […]

I have a proposition I would like to make. Today please meet me at the HIMSS Social Media Center at 11:00 a.m. When you arrive, I want to sit you down in isolation, and I want to give you a complete play-by-play of everything that has happened to me since I arrived in New Orleans. […]

Yesterday was the first day of HIMSS and, as usual, it was extremely busy. In my experience, Monday is the busiest day since you have people who attended CHIME or came in early for pre-conference sessions that wanted a day on the HIMSS exhibit floor to meet with vendors and look at the new products.

When wandering through the large HIMSS 2013 exhibit hall in New Orleans this year, I am inspired by innovation and the impact of mobile technologies on healthcare. I was thinking about the article in the Atlantic Wire called “Google Glass Will Be Out Just in Time for a Very Expensive Christmas Present” and what the […]

Today I’m en route to New Orleans for this year’s annual HIMSS conference. Fortunately, these conferences are placed just far enough apart for me to forget the cruelty bestowed upon by valuable walking appendages while navigating the vast HIMSS grounds over and over and over again. My FitBit is fully charged for the occasion. There’s […]

What are you excited about learning at HIMSS 2013 this year? I can certainly say that I am looking forward to hearing about cutting edge solutions for the buzz that will be surrounding Patient Engagement. Dave Chase, the CEO of Avado.com and the co-editor of Engage! Transforming Healthcare Through Digital Patient Engagement, debuting at HIMSS, […]

The healthcare IT field is rapidly developing and changing. Emerging technology and updated regulations put pressure on healthcare providers and health plans to stay ahead of the curve. Perficient creates a monthly list that explores some of the current topics and issues in health IT. This list examines the most talked about issues and technologies […]

T-minus 7 days till HIMSS 2013. Preparing for HIMSS is like planning a trip to Disney World. You are excited to jump on your favorite rides and see your favorite attractions (education sessions and exhibits in our case!) that you have come to love over the years. But when you get there, somehow they have […]

With the show quickly approaching next week, Perficient has announced plans to exhibit and highlight solutions in Business Intelligence and Analytics, Portals and Connected Health, and Interoperability and Integration in this news release. Perficient experts will be […]
