Staffing Requirements at Participant Stations for Onsite Participants: Leadership, Implementer & Organizational.

Mandatory Staff Attendance at Showcase Exhibit / Participant Station(s): Many participants also have a booth on the HIMSS Main Conference Exhibit floor in addition to their Interoperability Showcase participant station. To ensure full coverage for both the HIMSS main exhibit booth and Showcase participant station, please secure one technical staff member for each Showcase participant station in which you will be demonstrating at the HIMSS12 Interoperability Showcase.

Please do not plan to use the same resource(s) to cover exhibit floor and Showcase– Staff cannot be in two places at once. The dates and times in the onsite schedule require staff to be onsite at your Showcase station at all times. If your Showcase station is not staffed, your company will miss being included on HIMSS12 attendee and VIP tours. Not only is this a negative event for your organization, it also negatively impacts your interoperability partners because a missing participant can impact one or more connected use cases. If your station is not staffed, changes will be made to eliminate your system from future tours during the remainder of the Showcase.

How do I determine the number of participant stations my company will occupy at the Showcase?
The number and location of each Showcase station is determined in the final Use Case selection and assignment process. Your company will be contacted by the Showcase team with your final assignment and number of stations. This process will be covered in detail on the November Showcase Planning Webinar.

Because the mission of HIMSS' Interoperability Showcases is to support the general concept of health IT interoperability, the white papers / success stories form participants are not to be sales collateral and must focus on a case study or information regarding your activities that support interoperability.

Approval Process: Due to the specific content in the Showcase Success Story / White Papers must be approved by the Showcase staff, or they will not be permitted on the Showcase floor. Please follow the three-step approval process as outlined below to have all documents approved and ready for distribution at the Showcase.
