HIMSS Europe has evaluated the adoption of Electronic Medical Records (EMR) in more than 70% of all Dutch acute care hospitals. And the results are surprising. No other country in Europe currently has more hospitals that have achieved such advanced levels of EMR usage. At the same time nearly half of all acute care hospitals do still struggle with electronic clinical documentation, CPOE or full PACS implementations. The HIMSS Amsterdam 2014 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 the second annual Dutch event where global and regional thought leadership are combined, creating a must not miss conference.

HIMSS Amsterdam 2014 will be addressing key themes which are most relevant for The Netherlands, as one of the frontrunners of ICT use in healthcare. The eHealth conversation is now more significant than ever for the Dutch market as they proudly have 11 HIMSS EMRAM Stage 6 Hospitals in the country.
