Microsoft HUG Mission
The mission of the Microsoft Health Users Group is to be the healthcare industry forum for exchanging ideas, promoting learning, and sharing solutions for information systems using Microsoft technologies. The Microsoft Health Users Group 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 the Microsoft Health Users Group 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, the Microsoft Health Users Group’s ultimate mission is to provide value to our members through education, communication and access to information and experts.
