Open Health Tools will be holding its Technical Exchange and Board Meeting in Las Vegas, Nevada, following the HIMSS 2012 conference. The meetings will take place February 23-24, 2012 (Thursday and Friday) at the Luxor in Las Vegas, NV, USA. Details of the meetings below.

In additon Open Health Tools will have a booth at the HIMSS2012 Interoperability Showcase in Las Vegas courtesy of Georgia Tech. The HIMSS2012 Showcase will be open from Tuesday, February 21 through Thursday, February 23, 2012 – overlapping with OHT's Technical Exchange meeting on February 23 and ending before the Board meeting on Friday, February 24. 

OHT’s primary goal for having a HIMSS booth is to increase awareness of those OHT projects that foster interoperability and demonstrate innovation toward flexible, future-state health IT solutions.  We can, simultaneously, increase interest and membership in OHT by demonstrating some of our charter projects.

OHT and Georgia Tech are pursuing a public-private initiative to accelerate health IT innovation and generate the robust, competitive, responsive marketplace necessary to support our future learning health system.  A trusted, neutral network of organizations and companies will enable virtual, collaborative, “innovation sandboxes” to be created quickly and inexpensively by providing rapid access to a wide range of commercial and open source health IT products and tools.
