About HIMSS Medical Banking Institutes

The Medical Banking Institute seeks to advance critical policy issues that lie at the vortex of healthcare and banking information technology systems and infrastructure. As the educational arm of  HIMSS MBProject, the Institute provides a public policy and case study forum for commerce, government, associations, academicians and others interested in medical banking. Work that is conducted throughout the year in various internal workstreams is reported out at the Institute.

The Institute series has been praised by government, industry experts and the national banks, news organizations and IT/IS firms attending. As we collectively begin to understand digital convergence in medical payment channels, there will be an ongoing need for authoritative dialogue. The Institute serves this function by spearheading the formation of work groups, issuing white papers and other activities.

In February 2006, a President's Council was officially established to provide consultation and assistance to MBProject in organizing the National Medical Banking Institute series. The Council, now replaced by the HIMSS Medical Banking and Financial Systems Committee, provides a vital arm to foster outreach into the emerging cross-industry constituency of medical banking stakeholders.
