GET INVOLVED WITH ADVOCACY
  1. First read the HIMSS position statements to become informed on current issues. You may find them at http://www.himss.org/advocacy/positions.asp

  2. Identify the current legislative initiatives related to these positions. You may find tracking of national legislation at http://capwiz.com/himss/issues/bills/. For national issues http://capwiz.com/himss/mlm/signup/ allows you to request notifications.

  3. Identify your legislators. http://capwiz.com/himss/dbq/officials/ allows you to find your national and local representatives by entering your zip code or address.

  4. Contact your national and state legislators to inform them of your position! HIMSS provides templates of what to communicate at http://capwiz.com/himss/home/. Once each year, HIMSS coordinates visits to national representatives in Washington . On this Advocacy Day, you can join other HIMSS members speaking to congress about the same issues and be prepped with information before you go.
