Physicians working in Health IT here at #HIMSS13

Here at the 2013 HIMSS conference, I am surrounded by physicians working in health IT. Most of them work in hospitals and health systems. They are CMOs, CMIOs, and Medical Directors of Informatics. I am also surrounded by physicians working in health IT companies. These companies may be electronic health record (EHR) companies, mobile health startups, wireless providers like Verizon and AT&T, and a variety of computer and software companies. Did you know that Dell has a Chief Medical Officer? AT&T has a CMIO. Several physicians work at Microsoft.

HIMSS is a great networking conference. There are over 35,000 people here at this massive event, but there are plenty of networking events to connect with entrepreneurs and executives.

If you are here attending the HIMSS conference, I hope you'll join me at some upcoming networking events:

• HP & Intel Lunch on BYOD at #HIMSS13 http://bit.ly/XAFsMZ
• Search Health IT tweetup on Mon evening: http://tweetnmeet.eventbrite.com/
• HP tweetup on Tuesday: http://hptweetuphimss13.eventbrite.com/

If you didn't make it to HIMSS this year, I hope to see you next year.
