HIMSS Europe and Elsevier, the information analytics business specialising in science and health, have announced the winners of the Europe HIMSS-Elsevier Digital Healthcare Awards.
Digital innovations are changing the way healthcare is delivered, leading to improvements in patient safety and outcomes. The highly anticipated awards, held at the HIMSS Europe & Health 2.0 Conference on May 28 in Sitges, Spain, recognised two organisations - ASST di Vimercate, Italy, and Sağlik Bilgi Sistemleri Genel Müdürlüğü (SBSGM) - for outstanding achievement and innovation in the implementation and usage of health information and technology.
The applications were judged by a panel of seven leading healthcare professionals from across Europe: Jordi Piera Jimenez (CIO, Badalona Serveis Assistencials, Spain); John Rayner (Regional Director, HIMSS Analytics - HIMSS Europe - HIMSS UK); Tim Morris (Product & Partnership Director EMEALA/APAC, Elsevier); Jan Boers (CIO, OLVG, Netherlands (EMRAM stage 6)); José Pedro Almeida (Head of Analytics & Data Science, São João Hospital Center, Portugal); Marco Foracchia (Azienda USL di Reggio Emilia - IRCCS, Servizio Tecnologie Informatiche e Telematiche, Responsabile Struttura Informatica Clinica, Italy); and Richard Corbridge (CDIO, Leeds Teaching Hospitals Trust).
The HIMSS-Elsevier Awards were hosted in Europe for the second time and have previously been celebrated in the Asia Pacific region for more than five years and the Middle East region for three. It reflects Elsevier's ongoing global commitment to supporting healthcare providers to continually evolve, to meet the needs of a changing population. All the nominated projects use robust data and insight to streamline systems and make better use of healthcare practitioner skills in order to better manage patients and improve clinical outcomes.
