The HIMSS-Elsevier Digital Healthcare Award recognizes outstanding achievements and innovations globally in the usage of health information and technology, to advance patient care and safety. Established in 2013, it is held annually across Asia Pacific, the Middle East and Europe.



"The organizations we honoured in the past four years in Asia Pacific have set extraordinary benchmarks in improving care delivery using healthcare information technology," said Simon Lin, Executive Director, HIMSS Asia Pacific. In this fifth year, we look forward to sharing more case studies and also getting updates from our past winners on their HIT journeys. I encourage you to submit and showcase your success to the region and beyond."



The two categories open for submission are:

- Outstanding ICT Achievement,

- Outstanding ICT Innovation.



"We are honoured to have received awards at the 2013, 2014, and 2015 HIMSS-Elsevier Digital Healthcare Award," said Apollo Hospitals Enterprise CIO Arvind Sivaramakrishnan. "This is a global platform that has helped to validate Apollo's HIT investments and strategies. Our case studies of success reinforce that it is the strength of our innovations that directly result in quantifiable improvements in waste reduction, better safety and overall more effective care to our patients."



"We will continue to support this Award platform as we want to share our stories with regional and global peers, and hope that other organizations will come on board to share their successes with us so that we can also continue to learn and improve," Sivaramakrishnan added.
