To the Members of the New Jersey Chapter of HIMSS,
I'd like to invite you to nominate yourself to serve on the Chapter's Board of Directors. As you know, the success of our Chapter rests with the efforts, insights, and dedication that our Directors, committee members and members-at-large provide for our many activities.
As outlined in the Chapter's Bylaws, a nominee for a Director's seat requires:
a) being a Member in good standing for one year
b) having a minimum of 5 years of experience in the field of health information management
We have 4 seats available, each serving a 4-year term, beginning July 1, 2013. All 4 seats will constitute the "Class of 2017," signifying the end of the term on June 30, 2017. There are 12 other incumbents on the Board, still serving out their terms, so 16 Directors in total.

The purpose for this Request for Applications is to solicit sealed proposals for the procurement of technology services to establish and operate the New Jersey Health Information Network (NJHIN). The services outlined in this RFA will create the technology infrastructure to facilitate the electronic exchange of patient health information in New Jersey among health information organizations and state health data sources, and eventually connect the State to the eHealth Exchange. This will facilitate and expand the use of health information technology and the electronic exchange of health information among organizations in New Jersey according to nationally recognized standards and in a manner consistent with the objectives of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.

Transforming a primary care practice into a fully operational patient centered medical home requires a serious commitment on the part of the clinical and administrative leadership of that practice. It requires a commitment to change and the goals of improved patient satisfaction, outcomes, evidence based and cost effective care with realized payment reform.
Join us on October 30th from 12 noon to 1:00pm as we explore the standard set of elements that are required to establish a Patient Centered Medical Home.
This WebEx is designed to outline, the process by which a primary care practice can achieve recognition by the National Council of Quality Assurance (NCQA) as a Patient Centered Medical Home, to understand the benefits to the patients and their providers.

Topics such as HIPAA/HITEC regulations, social media, ONC guidelines, patient identity, HIMSS13 and others were covered. Gallagher also spoke about committee and work group structures as well as other initiatives related to privacy and security that HIMSS will be launching in the upcoming year.
