For those who attended the HIMSS conference earlier this year — or those who wish they could’ve — the health IT group has released a new infographic that breaks down some key numbers associated with the event.

There were apparently plenty of social media enthusiasts at the conference, which was held in Las Vegas in late February. With an average of 167 tweets per hour, HIMSS12 “set the world record for tweet volume at a health conference,” according to a statement from the IT advocacy group.

Peruse the infographic below for more of the story. Special shout-outs go to Brian Ahier and Regina Holliday for being named among the top 5 “influencers by mentions” at the conference.

Take a look at MedCity News’ coverage of #HIMSS12 here, including a video on the coolest booths at the trade show.
