The Northern and Southern California Chapters of HIMSS sponsored the 3rd Annual California State Advocacy Day. The event was held on Thursday, April 29th, 2010 at the historic Citizen Hotel located at 926 J Street, Sacramento, CA 95814.

It was an exciting event. We had the opportunity to hear nationally recognized speakers, meet with our legislator(s), have access to sponsoring vendors, have the opportunity to network with peers and gain insight to the impact of 'Meaningful Use' on California and our district.

HIMSS 2010 — A Resounding Success for the California Chapters

The Northern and Southern California HIMSS Chapters held a networking event on the Exhibit Hall Floor this year, their third co-Chapter networking event held at the annual conference. In a departure from previous events, the event was sponsored by CSC at their booth on the Exhibit floor, making it easy for California Chapter members to attend and network.

The response was tremendous and registration had to be closed after only 5 days when attendance reached 115. The event was hosted in and around the CSC booth with sponsorship by Allscripts. Steve Edison, partner with CSC said, “We had more than 150 attend, they were everywhere.”

Cindy Peterson, CIO Henry Mayo noted “The event gave me an opportunity to network with other CIO’s that I have not seen in a while. Given that it was in the Exhibit Hall, it made it much easier to attend.”

Clark Kegley, Senior Director, Service Delivery, Scripps Health Information Services, was very enthusiastic, “I really enjoyed the mix of attendees. We had vendors, providers, academia and payers at the event. We had a couple of folks who were new to the HIMSS chapter and I really think we convinced those folks to continue their involvement with the local HIMSS chapter.” Dean Torres, VP Membership for So CA said, “This member recruitment and development was an unintended output of this networking event.”

Jeff Hawley, Senior Manager with Accenture noted “this venue has provided the opportunity to meet California chapter members and non-members and has provided an unprecedented networking opportunity — the HIMSS version of speed dating that we don’t seem to have with the luncheon venue”.

Martha Dameron, President No CA, and Carl Hill, President So CA were very pleased with the event and want to give a big thank you to Allscripts and CSC for their support and participation.
