After 25 successful years, the Healthcare Information Systems Management Association (HISMA) has become the New Jersey Chapter of the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (NJ HIMSS). Its objective was to promote technical education and camaraderie among healthcare information technology professionals in the Garden State.
With the advent of national e-health initiatives, this transition also offers the state's healthcare information technology professionals the opportunity to collaborate with other HIMSS chapters and members across the country.
