This is a document created by HIMSS headquarters; with limited distribution.  I am sharing it with all of you here, 拋磚引玉 ...

Feel free to use the information in here.  Total attendees = 24,870.  That is a LOT of people!

Larry, Thank you for your attached file. It is helpful for us to understand the HIT industry in the U.S.

The following lists are little bit confusing me. Dose it mean the proportion of attendee?

Military Branch 2006
Army………………………….39%
Navy…………………………..15%
Air Force………………………29%
Health Affairs…………………9%
JMIS…………………………..5%
VA…………………………….4%
Length of Time in Field 2006
< 1 year………………………..5%
1 – 5 years…………………….16%
6 – 10 years…………………...19%
11 – 15 years………………….15%
Over 15 years…………………45%

I would think so ... just among the people who went to San Diego.  So the %'s are not from the entire USA healthcare industry, just the people at the conference ...

Also, the "Army ..... 39%" ==> probably that percentage is taken from all people who are related to military, and not 39% of the total number of 25,000 attendees.  Understand what I mean?

Then for the "Length of Time in Field" ... maybe those %'s are from the people who took time to answer the question, not necessarily from all 25,000 people.  ^_^

Mr. Li ... do you think the CHIMA conference will take similar statistics?  ^_^
