38 Healthcare IT News ■ October 2007 www.HealthcareITNews.com HIMSS08 Extends Programming to New Niche Audiences T o meet the needs of HIMSS’ diverse and growing audiences, the Society announced it will offer education programming for four new niche audiences at the 2008 Annual HIMSS Conference & Exhibition in Orlando. HIMSS has developed unique education sessions for business financial systems professionals, emergency responders, supply-chain professionals and critical access hospital providers. For those who work in the financial and business side of healthcare, HIMSS08 offers education sessions on data management, regulation and compliance, outsourcing, practice management and return on investment. HIMSS will also host a pre-conference symposium titled, Real-Time Financial Transactions: What This Means to You, which will explore the significant changes occurring in the way healthcare is being delivered and paid for. For supply-chain professionals, HIMSS and its Supply-Chain Management SIG, and the Association for Healthcare Resource and Materials Management designed the pre-conference symposium, Optimizing Supply-Chain Performance in the Enterprise, which covers the gamut of topics impacting those who work closely with CIOs. Critical-access hospital providers can attend sessions highlighting the optimization of their facility’s post-operative bed census and the improvement of indigent care while still controlling costs. The education programming for emergency responders includes sessions on leveraging mobile, emerging and enabling technologies to improve patient care.
