About HIMSS
HIMSS is a global, cause-based, not-for-profit organization focused on better health through information technology (IT). HIMSS leads efforts to optimize health engagements and care outcomes using information technology.

HIMSS is a cause-based, global enterprise producing health IT thought leadership, education, events, market research and media services around the world. Founded in 1961, HIMSS encompasses more than 56,000 individuals, of which more than two-thirds work in healthcare provider, governmental and not-for-profit organizations across the globe, plus over 600 corporations and 250 not-for-profit partner organizations, that share this cause.

About HIMSS Europe
In 2006, HIMSS began to operate in Europe, offering dedicated programmes for the region, including its flagship initiative, the annual World of Health IT Conference & Exhibition / eHealth week event, organised with the European Commission and other European partners.

HIMSS first opened the European office in Brussels and expanded its educational programmes and initiatives for the region. As of January 2014, the headquarters for HIMSS Europe is located in Berlin, Germany.

New members of the HIMSS Europe Governing Council will therefore make their contribution to an exciting time in HIT in Europe.

About the Governing Council
The purpose of the HIMSS Europe Governing Council is to serve as the governing body for HIMSS Europe:

  • Determine strategic direction for HIMSS Europe and HIMSS Analytics Europe
  • Provide content expertise
  • Maintain programme oversight of the activities of HIMSS Europe and HIMSS Analytics Europe
  • Appoint member-based work groups who have delegated responsibility to assist management in the execution of operational strategies and tactics (e.g., WoHIT, CIO Summit, mHealth Summit, membership, educational programmes, etc)
  • Support the development and promotion of other HIMSS Europe and HIMSS Analytics Europe products and services
  • Develop governance roles, procedures and practices to ensure an effective governance and oversight body.

The Council is comprised of representatives from the different countries, regions, constituencies and skills relevant to HIMSS Europe. Selections will therefore be made both on the basis of individual qualifications as well as of the general balances sought.
