The HIMSS Innovation Center, a 30,000-square-foot-global center for excellence, is part of the Global Center for Health Innovation in downtown Cleveland, Ohio, includes the Health IT Simulation Center and the Healthcare Technology Showcase.
The Health IT Simulation Center is a fully operational, multi-care setting, environment populated with simulated patient demographic, clinical and financial data. Members of the health and healthcare communities interact in real-time to both test and demonstrate scenarios that elicit a specific product’s interoperability and capabilities to improve quality and patient outcomes, cost-effective care coordination, secure data exchange, and better business performance.
Within the Healthcare Technology Showcase, these same stakeholders view rolling exhibitions on various topics including information exchange, mobile health and consumer-driven health. The year-round exhibition space will further validate functionality for new and developing products using standards and customized testing in both a physical and virtual demonstration environment.
This exhibition area, much like the Interoperability Showcases held at HIMSS conferences, will enable solutions providers to work collaboratively, instead of competitively. These participants will demonstrate and solve real-world healthcare delivery problems, showing the value of participating technologies in specific-use cases of the highlighted theme.
ABC Company joins current collaborators for the Innovation Center: Alego Health, Federal Health Architecture and healthit.gov as Founding Collaborators; Fujitsu as an Industry Collaborator; and Cardinal Health, Juniper Networks, and Total Voice Technologies as Supporting Collaborators.
