Advocacy & Community Overview

Welcome to the HIMSS NCA Advocacy & Community webpages.  

On these pages you will find the following information:
 
Under the Advocacy & Community Monthly Update subpage you will find the monthly pre-program Advocacy & Community PowerPoint slides including the monthly updates for CMS, FDA, ONC, CDC and DC captured by our five volunteer beat reporters from our Mentorship Program toward the end of each deck.  These Agency-focused updates capture the most important news from the past month and events to watch for in the coming months.  These will be available for Jan – July and for Oct – Nov every year, beginning in 2025.
 
Under the Advocacy & Community Key Reference Document Archive you will find documents referenced during monthly HIMSS presentations or identified in the monthly updates that we want to make available to you at this site for your convenience.
