Nominations close on Oct. 17 at 11:59 p.m. CDT for the HIMSS Most Influential Women in Health IT Awards. The awards, established in 2016, honor female visionaries who have used the power of IT to transform health and healthcare. Online nominations and applications will be reviewed by a panel of judges that will select the first year’s recipients. Nominations must include two letters of recommendation, a resume/CV, and a 1,500 word write-up of the nominee.
“The HIMSS Most Influential Women in Health IT Awards program is unique, in that it is inclusive of all women of influence, no matter where they are in their career,” said Diane M. Carr, MA, FHIMSS, healthcare executive and educator, and Most Influential Women in Health IT Awards panel judge. “These awards will recognize women who have improved health and healthcare through the best use of health IT, and bring to light the importance of eliminating the gender pay gap in the field of health IT.”
In a September blog post, Carr noted that “findings of the HIMSS Longitudinal Gender Compensation Assessment report take direct aim at the claim that, in health IT, ‘You’ve come a long way.’” She suggests four guidelines in her post to achieve gender equity in the workplace.
This perspective continues with an online review, by Carla Smith, MA, FHIMSS, CNM, executive vice president, HIMSS, of the inequities in salary between men and women in health IT. Smith leads the Women in Health IT initiative at HIMSS. For the full article click here
