The Payer Community and Health IT
Important transformations are occurring in the Payer space. While numerous, these transformations can best be summarized by the notion that a major shift has taken place in the role of Payers in the system: A shift from the Payer playing predominantly the role of "Transaction Manager" to one of becoming a true Healthcare "Infomediary" for the purpose of partnering in care delivery to improve patient outcomes. The passage of the HIT provisions contained within ARRA supports this alignment of interests in seven key areas: Care Coordination, Quality Improvement, Consumer Directed Care, HIT adoption, Reimbursement, Administrative Simplification, and Healthcare Reform. HIMSS offers various opportunities to address the HIT areas of critical importance to the Payer community.

The Life Sciences Community and Health IT
Well-designed HIT systems can help improve the quality of patient care, ensure patient safety, and allow for more individualized care. As a partner in improving patient health outcomes, the Life Science community understands that fully interoperable and interconnected electronic health records have the potential to provide higher quality, more easily accessible and more useful clinical care data. This enables important research for purposes such as safety, outcomes, and the robust research and analysis of diseases, which can lead to new medical discoveries and finding new, life-saving treatments. HIMSS offers various opportunities to address the HIT areas of critical importance to the Life Sciences community.
