The Microsoft Health Users Group, in conjunction with the Health Information and Management Systems Society, is calling for entries for its annual Innovation Awards.

The Microsoft Healthcare Innovation Awards are presented annually to the healthcare organization and technology solutions partner that best demonstrates industry leadership in using technology to achieve innovation excellence in each of the following categories:

• Clinical Records – Inpatient
• Clinical Records – Ambulatory
• HIE and Interoperability
• Microsoft HealthVault Applications
  

Entries will be judged primarily on whether the product:

• Represents a breakthrough from the industry's historical approaches.
• Goes beyond incremental improvements on technologies that already exist.
• Measurably improves significant business and/or clinical processes that positively impact patient care.
  

The award emphasizes the innovative application of available software and the creation of new solutions. For purposes of the contest, healthcare organizations include hospitals, health systems, clinics, group practices and public health organizations.

Winners and finalists will receive guidance from Microsoft on how to promote themselves and will have the option to present a track session at the Fall 2010 Microsoft Health Users Group Exchange.

Winners will be awarded the Microsoft Health Users Group 2010 Innovation Awards Trophy presented at the Microsoft Booth Theater on Tuesday, March 2, 2010, from 3-3:20 p.m., during the HIMSS 2010 conference in Atlanta.
