Following the official launch of the Asia Pacific regional edition of 
Healthcare IT News (HITN) in November 2018, HIMSS Asia Pacific today announced 
the launch of the Thai language edition of HITN. 

HITN is the industry's authoritative source covering the people, policy, and 
technology driving next-generation healthcare. It focuses on news, features, 
analysis and decision content tied to healthcare information and technology. 
Key topics include analytics, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, EHR, 
government & policy, interoperability, patient engagement, population health, 
precision medicine, privacy & security, telehealth, and women in health IT.

HITN's global website generates on average 645,000 monthly page views from 
292,000 unique monthly visitors. 

"Thailand is known for its reputation as a medical tourism hub with its 
excellent private healthcare facilities and there are enormous opportunities 
for growth in terms of digital health. With the launch of the Thai edition of 
HITN, we hope that we can reach out to members of the Thai healthcare community 
more intimately, as well as offer local and international insights in 
healthcare trends and developments," says Simon Lin, Vice President APAC, HIMSS.

The Thai edition of HITN will be distributed weekly, with a relevant mix of 
local, regional and international news and analysis, says Dean Koh, HIMSS's 
APAC region editor. "The recent announcement of price controls on medical 
drugs, supplies and services in Thailand is something that we are watching with 
close interest, and we want to bring the latest developments and analysis to 
our readers."
