I recently attended the Hospital Information Management Systems Society (HIMSS) conference, the largest vendor trade show for health care IT. The attendance of around 20,000 people broke all previous records. Unfortunately, the number of clinicians in attendance was quite low. Health care IT is led almost exclusively by commercial vendors and health care corporate management information services (MIS) departments. There is a poverty of clinician leadership.
