NC HIMSS



North Carolina Chapter of the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS). The purpose of the Chapter is to plan and schedule meetings, which would provide Chapter members and other interested persons an opportunity to share ideas and exchange experiences in the field of healthcare information and management systems. We want to assist members of this Chapter and others in developing their knowledge, increasing their effectiveness, and maintaining high-quality standards of performance through continuing education. In that regard we will plan and conduct training and educational programs designed to promote an understanding of information and management systems work in healthcare. And lastly, we strive to develop and maintain appropriate relationships with other local and national associations and societies concerned with the improvement of information and management systems.
