The Healthcare Information & Management Systems Society announced its new Commitment to Action as part of the Clinton Global Initiative on the same day President Bill Clinton spoke at the Annual HIMSS Conference & Exhibition, held March 3-7 in New Orleans.

The event that focuses on the booming health care IT sector attracted 34,696 total attendees, 13,985 professional attendees and 1,158 exhibiting companies.

According to a statement by officials, HIMSS’ Commitment to Action is an initiative to give senior health care executives the opportunity to implement plans that improve access to information technology.

It is one of several events and meetings planned as part of the project throughout the year.
