Become a GCC HIMSS Sponsor
The Greater Chicago Chapter of the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (GCC-HIMSS) is a diverse group of experienced healthcare professionals working across Illinois and Northwest Indiana. We work at hospitals, corporate health systems, consulting firms, vendor organizations, universities, and a wide variety of other organizations. Many of us are the decision makers in our organizations. Our members range from senior executives to analysts and students. We have technical members and clinical members. The majority of GCC's members have well over ten years of experience in the healthcare field.
What is our purpose?
To plan and conduct educational programs that promote an understanding of healthcare information and management systems, processes and technologies
To provide members opportunities to share ideas and exchange experiences in the field of healthcare information and management systems through meetings and networking events
To assist members of this Chapter and others in developing their knowledge, increasing their effectiveness, and maintaining high-quality standards of performance through continuing education
During a typical year, we offer 3-4 short educational programs, one half-day or one all-day educational event, a hospital tour/social program, and our always-popular HIMSS national conference social. We are also evaluating Web Conferencing and/or recording of our programs in 2009/2010, in order to give our members outside the Chicago Metropolitan area more opportunities to participate. Our educational programs are designed to share expert knowledge and to facilitate networking among our members. We are also evaluating as part of the upcoming year opportunities for sponsors to provide educational seminars and/or sessions surrounding their vision for healthcare information management and technology. The proposals will be reviewed by our Board as to how well they meet the Chapter goals and enhanced the knowledge of our community. This program will be outside the scope of normal sponsorship levels.
Some of the programs that we are currently proposing for 2009/2010 include:
Meaningful Use "What do we do now?" - September 2009 location TBD
Nursing Informatics Immersion Weekend - October 2009
January 2010 Program - Time and Topic TBD
HIMSS National in Atlanta, GA - March 2010 *Representation for Elite's only
May Downstate Program - Time and Topic TBD
Webinar(s) and HIT Discussion Groups* - Quarterly depending on topics *Reserved for Elite Sponsors Only
GCC-HIMSS appreciates the contributions of sponsors from the healthcare community to help defray the cost of the chapter's programs. GCC-HIMSS has implemented a flexible sponsorship program to allow for companies and/or organizations to align with their marketing goals. The various levels offer different benefits that improve the awareness of our sponsors and in turn provide a benefit to the community of healthcare information management and technology.
