Infographic: What was on people’s minds at HIMSS15?

Health IT vendor MedeAnalytics surveyed 1,004 attendees at HIMSS15 on five questions related to the conference and to healthcare reform. See the results in an infographic and word cloud.

Health IT vendor  MedeAnalytics surveyed 1,004 attendees at HIMSS15 on five questions:

  • When will the healthcare industry achieve value-based care?
  • What are your biggest pain points related to interoperability?
  • What is the top area of innovation at HIMSS this year?
  • What kinds of personal health data tools do you use?
  • What jargon are you hearing at HIMSS?

This infographic shows the unscientific results of the first four questions. Keep in mind that people at a health IT show are far more likely to use a personal health record or wearable tracking device than members of the general public, and that those wearable devices probably weren’t doing a whole lot more than just measuring steps taken in the massive exhibit hall.

For the jargon question, MedeAnalytics created this word cloud. (Curiously, “pain points” didn’t make the cut, but Starbucks did. Also curiously, analytics was prominent in a survey from an analytics vendor.)

Were there any other buzzwords you would like to add?
