The annual HIMSS Conference begins next month in Chicago (April 12-16). This year, I am very pleased to announce that I was named one of the HIMSS Social Media Ambassadors for the event. The #SoME ambassadors group includes many influential, super-knowledgeable, and prolific information-curators and contributors to a wide range of publications. I know most of these people from online conversations and in many cases met them at the first HIMSS conference I attended in 2010. Needless to say, I am thrilled to be included in this group!

Follow this elite group on Twitter and you’ll be well-informed about health IT standards & policy, behavioral health, advances in EHR technology, healthcare analytics/big data, new clinical decision support services, healthcare economics and more. The group includes:

Healthcare IT News is publishing a profile of each of the SoMe ambassadors to provide more insight into the areas of specialization of each member of the group. The profiles go beyond our geeky health IT and policy backgrounds to include some lesser-known aspects of our lives. My profile was published today and I have to congratulate the writer, Scott Thaler, on incorporating so many aspects of my career in designing & marketing digital information products and overall interest in the intersection of health IT and health content.

If you will be attending HIMSS15, come by the #IHeartHIT Meetup to meet me and the other SoMe ambassadors on Monday, April 13, at 3:30pm. Register here.

Whether you are attending or not, be sure to follow the #HIMSS15 hashtag on social media. Since that list may get overwhelming during the conference, I want to reinforce my recommendation to follow the #SoMe list, which is guaranteed to serve up carefully curated selections from the sessions, exhibit hall, press briefings, and social events.

I look forward to seeing many colleagues at HIMSS15. Please contact me if you would like to set up a briefing.
