Texas Children’s celebrates Health IT Week! Give an IS employee a virtual hug!

October 19, 2020

 

In an unprecedented year, Texas Children’s is celebrating National Health IT (HIT) Week to honor our Information Services (IS) staff. The organization salutes IS especially for their performance in meeting the multiple unanticipated challenges of COVID-19 while keeping the organization’s day-to-day operations safe and secure.

It’s also an opportunity for Texas Children’s to recognize and celebrate the amazing accomplishments resulting from partnerships between IS staff and our clinical and operational collaborators. For example:
