CHICAGO (June 22, 2010) – HIMSS has announced the formation of HIMSS Analytics Europe (HAE), a German-based company, to provide healthcare organizations, governments and information technology companies extensive data resources and services about the adoption and use of healthcare information technology in Europe. A full launch of resources is planned for late September 2010.
HIMSS’ recent acquisition of assets from Hospital IT.Net serves as the foundation of the new entity and will be the basis for a new portfolio of products and services for the European health care market.
HIMSS Analytics Europe will offer a full array of services to health care organizations such as: comparative IT adoption benchmarking, a European-formulated EMR Adoption Model (EMRAM) scale, resources to help better understand IT operations and how they compare to others, and resources for country-level policy makers and supplier companies that provide insight into the HIT marketplace.
More information about HIMSS Analytics Europe will be unveiled at the HIMSS Europe Health IT Leadership Summit Rome on 29 September – 1 October 2010. For more information about HIMSS and upcoming webinars and presentations on HIMSS Analytics and other products, visit: emea.himss.org.
