Healthcare IT News

What Healthcare IT News does

Healthcare IT News is a B2B media publication founded in 2003 and operated as a brand within HIMSS Media, the media business unit of the nonprofit Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS). The publication delivers daily news, analysis, and multimedia content on healthcare technology topics — electronic health records, interoperability, AI in healthcare, cybersecurity, telehealth, population health, government policy, and revenue cycle management — to hospital executives, CIOs, CTOs, health system IT leaders, healthcare policy professionals, and healthcare technology vendors.

The product surface is multi-format and multi-channel: a freely accessible flagship website (healthcareitnews.com), HIMSS TV video coverage, the HIMSSCast podcast, sponsored white papers and on-demand webinars, themed special project collections (Rural Health, AI & ML Intelligence, Nursing and IT, Success Stories & ROI), and email newsletters segmented by topic and geography (daily and weekly Global Editions, Asia Pacific, Europe/UK, Telehealth Connection, Cybersecurity Checkup, Women in Health IT, Government & Policy). Underlying technology is a standard web-based content management and digital publishing platform with multimedia distribution; no proprietary AI/ML or data products are built by the publication itself. Regional editions cover Global, EMEA, APAC, and ANZ, and editorial coverage is tightly integrated with HIMSS events including the AI in Healthcare Forum, HIMSS26 Europe, and HIMSS26 APAC.

Revenue is generated entirely through B2B advertising, sponsorships, and event/webinar partnerships with healthcare technology vendors; core editorial content is freely accessible to readers with no reader subscription fees. Sponsors include enterprise names such as Google Cloud, Philips, Optum, InterSystems, RingCentral, IMO Health, OpenAI/Slalom, and Tieto Caretech. The publication sits within the broader HIMSS Media portfolio alongside Healthcare Finance and MobiHealthNews and does not raise outside capital, as its parent is a nonprofit organization.
