Day two at HIMSS 2015 started off with a thoughtful keynote address from Bruce Broussard, CEO and President of Humana.

**Afternoon at HIMSS 2015 **merely a tool in the process of providing patient care, and everyone in H.I.S. must remember to stay patient focused. In as much as the concept is obvious and borderline cliche, no sentiment could ring more true. Morning in the HCI Group booth saw significant attendee traffic. The tea mugs are all but gone and proved to be very popular! More to learn, more to share this afternoon.

The HCI Group booth continued to enjoy a high traffic flow of attendees this afternoon. There was a buzz about our event this evening, and, looking back, we did not disappoint. The HCI Group hosted an evening at “Beyond the Ivy”, located just beyond the confines of the famous Wrigley Field. The Cincinnati Reds were in town to play the Cubs, and invitees were treated to a cool evening on the rooftop with great food and networking. Sorry Cubs fans, the boys in blue came up short in the bottom of the 9th, but for all of us at the event, it was a great evening!
