Shortly before the CV world descended upon Atlanta, the city hosted a different conference: the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS). This conference was dedicated to conveying information about health information technology (IT). While many ACC members are perhaps unlikely to attend a four-day conference exclusively devoted to health IT, HIMSS and ACC have come together to offer something even better: a one-day track at ACC.10 devoted to health IT and how it relates to cardiology.

The spotlight session, tomorrow from 8 am to 6 pm in B405, features not only the visionaries in the field – National Health IT Coordinator David Blumenthal, M.D; U.S. CTO Aneesh Chopra, M.P.P.; and Marc Overhage, M.D., Ph.D., of the Indiana Health Information Exchange – but also ACC members who have implemented health IT into their practice offering practical advice on how to implement and how to maximize your health IT use. Check out the full schedule here and make sure on Sunday to attend this useful session.
