U.S. National Health IT Week is a nationwide awareness week focused on the value of healthcare IT. While HIMSS spearheads activities, it is an independent week made up of partner-driven events offering healthcare stakeholders an opportunity to unite under one banner, one message: the benefits health information technology can bring to U.S. healthcare.

National Health IT Week was founded by HIMSS and the Institute for e-Health Policy in 2006. The Administration, Congress, corporations, providers, and non-profit organizations around the country are all recognizing the value of shining the spotlight on health IT for one week every year.
