At the HIMSS 2010 healthcare IT show, in Atlanta, HIT vendors and medical pros reviewed the latest in clinical equipment, electronic health records systems, and more.

At the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society ( HIMSS 10 ) conference in Atlanta, the show floor was over the top with vendors appealing to healthcare providers and other customers anxious to spend soon-to-come federal health IT stimulus funds.

The federal government is still hard at work hammering out its meaning of "meaningful use" requirements for health IT stimulus programs, but those uncertain requirements are already spiking IT spending among healthcare providers.

The $20 billion-plus healthcare IT stimulus program has more hospitals and doctors than ever planning to implement e-medical record and other health IT systems. But CIOs report they're finding it hard to recruit IT talent, especially those with the skills to work on EMR s and physician order entry systems.
