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.
