Siemens Nursing Officer Awarded HIMSS 2008 Nursing Informatics Leadership Award

Rosemary Kennedy, RN, MBA, chief nursing informatics officer for Siemens Healthcare, has just been awarded the HIMSS 2008 Nursing Informatics Leadership Award. The society will award Kennedy, along with 50 other industry leaders and organizations, on April 4 during the 2009 HIMSS annual conference in Chicago.

Established in 2004, this award recognizes Kennedy’s continued leadership in the nursing informatics field, along with her contributions to the nursing profession, the society, its organizations, and the HIT profession as a whole. This affords Siemens the opportunity to collaborate with other leaders from a broad spectrum of disciplines to proactively address healthcare issues of the day. Kennedy now has the opportunity to share her ideas and help develop new strategies for nurses to drive the transformation of America’s healthcare system.

This is the second of two recent awards honoring Kennedy’s professional achievements in the nursing profession. In November 2008, she was inducted as a fellow into the American Academy of Nursing.
