The Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS), that was set up to dedicate itself to the improvement of Healthcare had it's annual Global Healthcare Conference in February 2019.

HIMSS19 was used as a platform to perform everything Health Information & Technology related, be it a display of your innovative products & solutions, learning about the untapped potentials by the HIMSS19 Speakers or be it connecting and collaborating with colleagues from all over the world in a variety of networking events.

Three of the striking edges of the event were:

1) Interoperability Showcase

2) Data Analytics

3) Patient Engagement in Healthcare

The HIMSS Interoperability Showcase made us realize one thing: Interoperability is regarded as the best solution to transform Healthcare meanwhile Data Analytics in Healthcare has taken the crown of being the most resourceful subject matter and lastly, Patient Engagment and Security has been an important matter of concern that if done right will have a significant impact on the quality of patient satisfication.

The HIMSS Insights we've given in the video is just a fraction of what we've learned at the Global Conference.

If you're planning on attending the HIMSS 2020 event you need to go prepared, take a look at how we prepared ourselves before attending HIMSS19: www.osplabs.com/insights/7-smart-lessons-you-need-to-lear...
