These pre-conference events are held on Feb. 27 and Feb. 28 prior to the start of HIMSS 2010 . Symposia address the educational needs of nurses, physicians, pharmacists, clinical engineers, payers, IT professionals and those involved in health information exchanges ( HIE s ), personal health records and the finance or supply-chain management aspects within all settings of healthcare.

The Foundations of Nursing Informatics: Achieving Meaningful Use and the Impact on Nursing on Saturday, Feb. 27, will provide a nurse-focused interpretation of meaningful use of certified EHR s for 2011. Discussions will provide insight on the impact of standards and certification on EHR systems, implementing SNOMED CT to achieve meaningful use and demonstrating meaningful use through quality measures.

The full-day Nursing Informatics Symposium: Realizing the Promise of Health IT for Nursing on Sunday, Feb. 28, brings together a dynamic platform of nurse leaders to address current nursing informatics issues. “The nursing pre-conference events challenge attendees to strive for excellence in IT, to provide top quality care for patients and the healthcare industry, and to preserve the uniqueness of nursing,” said a HIMSS 2009 Nursing Informatics Symposium attendee. This year, two tracks are offered: Positioning for Implementation Success and Demonstrating the Value of HIT.
