<Insert Organization Name> is a Proud Partner in National Health IT Week 2011
This September, <Insert Organization Name> — as a partner in the advancement of health information technology to help improve healthcare — is joining approximately 200 public and private sector organizations to participate in the Sixth Annual National Health IT Week (September 12 – 16, 2011).  National Health IT Week 2011 is the premier event offering all healthcare stakeholders an opportunity to unite under one banner driving the message on the benefits that health information technology (HIT) can bring to U.S. healthcare. “One Voice, One Vision.”

Comprehensive health care reform is not possible without system-wide adoption of health information technology, which improves the quality of healthcare delivery, increases patient safety, decreases medical errors, and strengthens the interaction between patients and healthcare providers.

With Meaningful Use now providing the way forward, eligible providers across the country increasingly understand the benefits for themselves and their patients, and are adopting Meaningful Use compliant electronic health records.

Initiated in 2006 by the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS), National Health IT Week has emerged as a landmark occasion for using health IT as part of the overall solution to improve America’s healthcare as a bipartisan, federally led, market driven initiative.

The week consists of several partner events, including:

• Capitol Hill Steering Committee on Telehealth and Healthcare Informatics Technology Showcase
• National Health IT Week Press Conference on Capitol Hill
• National Health IT Week Networking Reception
• HIMSS 10th Annual Policy Summit

National Health IT Week 2011 participants —vendors, provider organizations, payers, pharmaceutical/biotech companies, government agencies, industry/professional associations, research foundations, and consumer protection groups— are working together to elevate national attention to the advantages of advancing health IT.

Visit www.HealthITWeek.org for a full list of partners and updates on the Week’s activities. Working together with our growing coalition of stakeholders, <Insert Organization Name> is helping to transform healthcare for all.
