Administered by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), HITSP is a cooperative effort with strategic partners such as the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS), Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE), Advanced Technology Institute (ATI) and Booz Allen Hamilton.
Nextrials is again demonstrating Prism’s interoperability at the HIMSS 2009 Interoperability Showcase, part of the 2009 Annual Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society’s Conference & Exhibition, being held April 4-8 in Chicago.
