ARLINGTON, VA— A new website has been created for medical and information technology (IT) professionals to access timely educational resources and information about IT-related issues affecting the healthcare field.

The website was developed by a coalition of three national associations—the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI), the American College of Clinical Engineering (ACCE), and the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS)—which recently formed the CE-IT Community.

The website — www.ceitcollaboration.org — describes the new CE-IT Community and includes a copy of the group’s charter; as well as news coverage about the collaboration, background information about the three sponsoring organizations, and details about how individuals can become involved.

Over time, the website will also include detailed information about specific projects undertaken by the CE-IT Community, including guidance documents and publications, information about educational events, and the sharing of best practices.

“This website will serve as a clearinghouse of information and resources to address the evolving IT needs and issues facing the healthcare field,” says Steve Campbell, AAMI’s Vice President of Communications, Marketing, and Healthcare Technology Management. “As more projects get off the ground and are completed, the site will be particularly valuable.”
