Dashboard Pinpoints State HIT Initiatives

The Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society has introduced a free dashboard application enabling all industry stakeholders to find and track state health information technology initiatives.

The HIMSS State HIT Dashboard includes a repository of state specific resources, contact information for regional extension centers and health information exchanges, tracking of state legislation, links to HIMSS chapters, and contact information for HIMSS' Davies Award winners for exceptional use of electronic health records.

HIMSS will regularly update the site, available at himss.org/statedashboard/.
