WSD 2017: Smart Health
The U.S. Celebration of World Standards Day (WSD), an annual event co-chaired by ANSI and NIST, serves to recognize the critical role of various stakeholders across the standards community, including business leaders, industry, academia, and government.
The 2017 WSD theme, "Smart Health," highlights the realities of the modern age of healthcare and prepare for the needs for the future using intelligent healthcare systems. Such innovative systems provide a distributed environment that requires a purposeful precision and a level of reliability and availability to maintain their effectiveness. And to that end, standards play a large part in supporting these systems to improve the quality and delivery of healthcare for a more integrated, focused approach.
The official WSD ceremony will be held at the Mandarin Hotel in Washington, D.C., on October 19, 2017. This year, AAMI will serve as the event's administrating organization. For more on World Standards Day 2017, read the related ANSI news article.
