Dear professional:

The Intermountain Clinical Instrumentation Society (ICIS) Board of Directors and Officers forward the following AAMI press release entitled “Forum Recommends Unified Name, Vision for Field”.

http://aami.org/news/2011/050611.future.forum.html

As we discussed at our May 5 meeting, a group of individuals from all aspects of our industry (supporting, maintaining, assessing, planning, and managing healthcare technology) met last week to propose a vision for the future and a name for our profession.

A universally recognized name for our profession is a step toward so many positive outcomes such as being a more valued partner in healthcare, recruiting professionals into new roles, and standardizing educational programs.

There is an open comment period. ICIS encourages each person to participate. With over 200 members spread in or region and beyond, we hope you will share this message with your friends and colleagues who may not receive this mailing.

Comment as you see appropriate, and support the effort to unify our profession now and in the future. Your feedback and your support are an integral step in establishing collaboration.

Sincerely,

Board of Directors and Officers

Intermountain Clinical Instrumentation Society
