MS-HUG Mission
The mission of the Microsoft Healthcare User’s Group (MS-HUG) is to be the healthcare industry forum for exchanging ideas, promoting learning, and sharing solutions for information systems using Microsoft technologies. MS-HUG will leverage this forum to provide industry leadership, drive appropriate standards and develop associated requirements in support of healthcare solutions. MS-HUG’s ability to fulfill this mission is predicated on a broad-based membership which includes CIOs, healthcare end-users, care-givers from provider organizations, and payors; but MS-HUG is primarily focused on information technology professionals and developers from healthcare providers, solution providers, and ISVs. This diverse membership is unified by a shared interest in implementing vendor and user-developed software based on Microsoft technology to improve quality and efficiency in healthcare. In the end, MS-HUG’s ultimate mission is to provide value to our members through education, communication and access to information and experts.
