HIMSS Government Relations Roundtable

The mission statement of the HGRR is to:

  • Harness the extensive knowledge and expertise of our more than 66 Diamond Corporate members to promote improvements and investments within our healthcare technology domain.
  • Provide counsel from the corporate member perspective to the HIMSS Advocacy & Public Policy Steering Committee to be the recognized source of information and provide access to key decision makers.

To achieve these goals, the HGRR meets monthly to receive updates from Congressional staff and Regulatory Agency staff, provides comments on HIMSS responses to legislation and proposed rules, and assists in planning the annual HIMSS Public Policy Forum, HIMSS Advocacy Breakfast, site visits for Congressional Staff, participation in National Health IT Week and the Project Public Health IT track at HIMSS Annual Conference & Exhibition.

The HGRR is led by Chair Harry Greenspun, MD, Executive Vice President, Chief Medical Officer for Perot Systems and Vice Chair Maggie Nelson, Senior Industry Relations Strategist for Cerner Corporation.
