For the first time ever, the true state of Healthcare IT adoption in the Netherlands has been revealed - and the results are surprising.

The HIMSS Amsterdam 2013 conference opens up three key themes critical to the success of healthcare: Adoption, Change Management and Interoperability. It's a unique opportunity to take global best practice and benchmark it against the state of healthcare in Holland. Leading healthcare organizations will present in what will be a first of its kind event where global and regional thought leadership combines to create a must not miss conference.

Mr. Bert Reese, Senior Vice President and CIO, Sentara Healthcare, USA will be the opening keynote speaker at the conference. Sentara Healthcare has been named one of USA's Most Wired Health Systems. Sentara is recognised with HIMSS Analytics Stage 7 Award.
