The Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) has recently announced a new partnership with the Association of Medical Directors of Information Systems (AMDIS). This collaboration aims to provide a wide range of educational resources and support for physicians, chief medical information officers, and provider executives in the healthcare industry.
One of the key reasons why this partnership is significant is the combined expertise and experience of HIMSS and AMDIS in the healthcare IT field. The annual AMDIS/HIMSS Physicians’ Executive Forum, scheduled for March 3 at HIMSS25 in Las Vegas, is just one example of the successful collaboration between the two organizations.
The enhanced partnership between AMDIS and HIMSS will focus on offering exclusive educational initiatives, executive training programs, and resources to help clinical leaders drive digital health transformation within their organizations. Additionally, both associations will work together on public policy issues, co-hosted events, and joint healthcare conferences to provide robust resources and networking opportunities for healthcare professionals worldwide.
While the initial focus of the partnership is on North America, there are plans to expand internationally and develop new educational and membership initiatives to enhance both organizations’ global reach. The ultimate goal is to create a trusted network that enables physicians and health system executives to collaborate and share insights that will transform the future of the global health ecosystem, ultimately improving care delivery and patient outcomes.
At the upcoming HIMSS25 AMDIS/HIMSS Physicians’ Executive Forum, sessions will cover a variety of topics such as ambient listening technologies, predictive analytics, robotic process automation in care delivery, emerging technologies, and value-based care models. The forum will provide valuable insights and information for CMIOs and other physician IT executives to stay at the forefront of health innovation.
In a statement, HIMSS president and CEO Hal Wolf emphasized the importance of digital health transformation and how this partnership will provide the tools and resources clinical leaders need to lead and support advanced infrastructures in healthcare. AMDIS CEO Richard L. Rydell also expressed excitement about the collaboration, highlighting the opportunity to offer unprecedented educational opportunities and tools for physician leaders to advance patient care and outcomes globally.
Overall, the partnership between HIMSS and AMDIS represents a significant step forward in supporting clinical executives and healthcare professionals in driving digital health transformation and innovation. Stay tuned for more updates and developments from this exciting collaboration.
