#himsselfie was totes adorbs again at HIMSS 2015 – much like it was last year. It’s a great, expressive way to celebrate the community of HIMSS.

Plus, some of these are not selfies.

Healthcare is always a few years behind the trends – or so the story goes. So let’s change that, and celebrate the selfies of HIMSS 2015 as a farewell tour.
