CNFL & SFL HIMSS HIT Day at the Capitol

This year the Central & North Florida and South Florida HIMSS Advocacy Groups are focused on four main policy areas:

1. Interoperability
2. A I (Artificial Intelligence)
3. Cybersecurity

The Garner Group is working with Florida Senator Harrell, Chair of Senate HHS Appropriations, in drafting Proclamation for the State to recognize the value of these policy issues to the state's healthcare system. The Proclamation also serve as an educational tool for policymakers about health policy issues that they may be voting on regarding Medicaid Budget needs and changes in reimbursement.
