Section 2: Looking Back

 

Q1 featured our first ever joint networking event with the Minnesota Chapter of HIMSS at Troy Burne Golf Club in Hudson, WI. KPMG sponsored the event and had Bruce Eckert, a Director with KPMG’s Advisory Practice, present on IT integration, separation, and due diligence for healthcare provider clients.

Bruce debunked common healthcare myths, offered personal examples of his experiences with the healthcare system, and presented solutions for how IT can (help) fix American healthcare.

 

 

 

Section 3: Sponsor Spotlight

Before we dive into our sponsor spotlight for this quarter, we thought now would be a good time to direct you toward our new sponsorship benefits webpage. While the benefits are largely the same, now might be a good time to review to see if you're effectively leveraging your benefits and decide whether a different sponsorship tier is for you. Email WI HIMSS Director of Sponsors, John Pollard, with any questions.
