The week is focused on displaying the potential of health information and technology to transform health and minimize health disparities. HIMSS launched its Global Health Equity Network to accelerate diversity and inclusion to improve healthcare access and delivery, create an inclusive workforce, decrease disparities in underrepresented groups and advocate for true health equity for all. Team BZ understands that 1s and 0s don’t discriminate and that standards-based healthcare IT – applied in a logical way – can improve patient outcomes regardless of demographics. That is our mission … this week and every week.
