recognizing March 23-29, 2015 as the HIT Week in Florida.

This initiative mirrors, on the state level, efforts executed since 2006 by the national parent organization, Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS), at the federal level. The National Health Information Technology (HIT) Week and State Recognized HIT weeks have emerged as landmark occasions for bringing together diverse healthcare stakeholders, who partner in developing neutral, common ground for the advancement of health IT adoption with "One Voice, One Vision.

Each year, HIMSS creates policy principles for all stakeholders to consider for inclusion as provisions in legislation proposed by the U.S. Congress or state legislatures, or for inclusion in federal and state regulations, to foster enhanced healthcare using IT. HIMSS addresses its policy principles in eleven separate categories:

1. Funding and Incentives

2. Quality and Outcomes

3. Organizational Structure

4. Safety, Standards, Infrastructure, and Innovation

5. Privacy and Security

6. Legal

7. Patient Empowerment

8. Equity and Access

9. Population Health

10. Workforce Development

11. Administrative Simplification

HIMSS is a cause-based, not-for-profit organization exclusively focused on providing global leadership so that lives can be saved, outcomes of care improved, and costs reduced by transforming the delivery of healthcare through the appropriate use of information technology (IT) and management systems. Founded 50 years ago, HIMSS and its related organizations have offices in Chicago, Washington, DC, Brussels, Singapore, Leipzig, and other locations across the United States. HIMSS represents more than 30,000 individual members, of which two thirds work in healthcare provider, governmental and not-for-profit organizations. HIMSS also includes over 470 corporate members and more than 85 not-for-profit organizations that share our vision.
