The EHR Achievement Event is an executive-level recognition of accomplishments and excellence in electronic health record implementation. New to HIMSS12, this event honors both real-life successes by paying tribute to HIMSS Analytics EMR Adoption Model^SM (EMRAM) Stage 6 and Stage 7 achievers and HIMSS Davies Award winners.

The EMRAM, introduced in 2005, identifies and scores hospitals using an eight-step scale that charts the path to a fully paperless environment. In 2010, only 1% of the more than 5,000 US hospitals tracked by HIMSS Analytics had achieved Stage 7.

Since 1994, the HIMSS Nicholas E. Davies Award of Excellence has recognized excellence in the implementation and value from health information technology, specifically EHRs. The Davies Award has honored 71 healthcare organizations in four categories: organizational, ambulatory care, community health organizations and public health.

These prominent organizations and their achievements will be honored during two programs at HIMSS12. On Tuesday evening, February 21, all HIMSS Davies Award recipients and Stage 7 hospitals will gather to recognize the 2011 honorees. Stage 6 hospitals will be recognized on Wednesday afternoon, February 22, during a luncheon.

Both events are invitation-only.
