Vendor marketplace is dynamic
History of HIS
HIS followed the advent of computerization of U.S. society in general
1960s: Early software applications focused on accounting and financial applications
”Data” of finance and accounting involved dollars and cents (standardized and universally understood data elements)
1970s: Early HIS and tech vendors (SMS, now Cerner)

VO:
The task for health professionals is to provide the education and support needed to create the kinds of HIS we need in today’s challenging and changing healthcare environment.
Clinical, business, and technology health professions now can only be done proficiently with HIS knowledge, ability, and activity.
