HIMSS12 is the destination for thousands of like-minded healthcare executives, health IT professionals and clinicians who are seeking information and best practices on how to plot their health system, hospital or practice’s course to achieve meaningful results.

If you can’t attend this year’s conference in person, you do not need to miss out on the excitement and health IT sharing that goes on every year.

For the first time, a variety of HIMSS12 activities will be shared in both real-time and on-demand formats virtually.
