In 1997, Dr. William Bria, Chairman of the Board and Rich Rydell, MBA, CEO, started the Association of Medical Directors of Information Systems (AMDIS), to fill a necessary gap – a professional organization for physicians involved in health information technology. Since its formation, AMDIS has evolved to become the premier professional organization for physicians responsible for health care information technology, providing extensive networking and educational opportunities for individuals involved in day-to-day operational issues involving HIT. AMDIS members are chief medical information officers (CMIOs) and physician leaders, decision makers, and opinion influencers, dedicated to improving the practice of medicine through the use of information technology.
