ABSTRACT
I am not sure that I am the best person to write on Innovation, but the idea of helping fill a void in healthcare technology today was something I wanted to have a part in. I was humbled when I was approached by the Healthcare Information Management Systems Society (HIMSS) in 2014, asking if I would take the lead on this important work. Always up for a challenge and passionate on the topic, I agreed. I don’t believe anyone needs to be convinced of the acute need for increased innovation in healthcare technology. The gap may be closing, but other industries have certainly benefitted far more than healthcare when it comes to innovation. This book aims to accelerate the closing of the gap.
