HIMSS Analytics - About Us. HIMSS Analytics Releases 2014 Mobile Devices Study Chicago – December 9, 2014 – HIMSS Analytics released today its latest Essentials Brief, the 2014 Mobile Devices Study. While mobile technology may be a trending topic online, this Essentials Brief digs into how hospitals are actually utilizing smartphones and tablet computers, including the challenges and benefits. Based on data from the HIMSS Analytics® Database as well as unique insight from clinicians across the country, topics include market utilization, vendor market share and trajectory, as well as a look at the impact and usability of devices. “It’s one thing to state that mobile technology is cool; it’s another to determine what value it brings to the healthcare equation,” said David Collins, Senior Director, Health Information Systems for HIMSS North America. “This survey was created to discuss how smart phones and tablet computers are being used to create care efficiencies and optimize clinical time.”

As part of President Barack Obama's commitment to delivering a 21st century government, he issued a directive requiring that each major federal agency – including the Department of Health and Human Services – make two key government services the American people depend on available on mobile phones within the next 12 months.
