The two organizations have signed a memorandum of understanding to bring paperless healthcare to 53 member states. In a memorandum of understanding signed recently, HIMSS and WHO/Europe have set a new agenda for transatlantic collaboration in digital health.
With the help of information and technology, Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) aims to lead the reform of the global health ecosystem. Originally American, HIMSS has grown to a global not-for-profit organization dedicated to improving health care in quality, safety, cost-effectiveness and access through the best use of information technology and management systems. HIMSS has more than 120,000 members in North America, Europe, the United Kingdom, the Middle East, and Asia Pacific.
In a recent Resolution and Action Plan, 53 member countries of the WHO’s European Region committed to scaling up digital transformation. As a leading advocate for healthcare, HIMSS stands ready to assist.
