Global Health Equity Week

October 23 - 27, 2023

Supporting Healthy Communities

#HealthEquity  

Join us for this global action week celebrating the power of information and technology to improve access to healthcare for all communities.

Since 2006, U.S. National Health IT Week has brought together stakeholders in Washington, DC and across the country to demonstrate the power of information and technology to transform health. Today, HIMSS is pleased to use the power of this partner-driven platform to present Global Health Equity Week.

In the past few years, HIMSS and the health information and technology community have highlighted the role of digital health as a bridge to patient wellness by focusing on maternal health, patient identification and safety, telehealth, broadband access and public health data modernization. This year, we will continue to support those efforts as we focus upon:

  • Digital health literacy, inclusion and access  ​
  • Social determinants of health
  • Maternal health

Participants will experience opportunities to elevate conversations about care and wellness and take actionable steps to support healthy communities. We’re developing details on how you can get involved and take action. For questions, email us.
