#HIMSS12: TGIF Edition

On Monday, it will officially be two weeks until HIMSS 2012.  This week, we’ve got a streamlined list of the top hashtags and thought leaders to follow on Twitter to ensure you’re in “the know” in advance of the show.  Why streamlined?  We’ve been hard at work thinking about how we can best capture innovation at #HIMSS12.  As such, today we launched our HIT-in-Action contest.  We hope you’ll take some time to start thinking about how you too can best capture innovative HIT-in-Action leading up to and at HIMSS12.  For more details, check out the launch of our contest which went down earlier today on our blog, For the Health of IT – What’s Health IT Innovation Look Like to YOU?

Speaking of streamlined, it’s Friday, let’s get after this so you can leverage these hashtags and follower lists as you gear up this weekend and over the coming two weeks for HIMSS12.  New additions have been listed as the bottom five of each list.  As always, feedback and insight are welcome!
