"We are specially qualified to work as an integrator for the RIHO's," said ActMinds Director Leonardo Mattiazzi, who participated at the event. "This trend towards greater connectivity among doctors, hospitals, labs, pharmacies, and other healthcare institutions opens up a whole new market for a company with the expertise and experience we have at ActMinds."

Bringing together about 25000 players in the healthcare market, including CIOs, CMOs (Chief Medical Officers) and CMIOs (Chief Medical Information Officers), HIMSS is an annual event of industry leaders seeking to transform healthcare through innovative technologies. Participating for the first time as an exhibitor at HIMSS06, Actminds, based in Philadelphia, PA, and led by healthcare and technology professionals focused on application development, integration and management services, is actively setting up new alliances with a range of global partners involved in the development of e-Health portals through which hospitals, physicians and insurers can use the Web to communicate effectively with their patients, and patient information can be shared by different providers.

"The participation of ActMinds in events of this size and relevance is a natural step in our strategy to create and strengthen mutually beneficial partnerships in the US market," says Mattiazzi. "Specifically, being at HIMSS as exhibitors was extremely fruitful in our goal of establishing new contacts with potential clients and strategic partners. We know from our current client portfolio in the healthcare industry that the quality of our products and services is top of the line, and that our cost structure is extremely competitive."

Mattiazzi participated at the event accompanied by ActMinds' special advisor Marcio Biczyk, who recently joined ActMinds, coming from a position as CIO of a 2000 bed hospital. "What we saw at HIMSS is an industry which is evolving at breakneck speed towards information management integration and a brand new world where the quality of care will be vastly improved, medical errors averted, billions of dollars saved through the elimination of redundant diagnostic procedures, preventable complications, paper chart delays, and other inefficiencies," said Biczyk. "ActMinds is well positioned as a provider of services for this industry, which leaves us very optimistic about our growth prospects in the next year."
