About Us
Strategic Partners.
Real People. Proven Results.
Founded in January 2002 in Atlanta, GA, Himformatics is a privately held healthcare IT consulting firm built on the principle that technology should serve the needs of healthcare organizations, not the other way around.
Our Approach
Our approach is highly collaborative and flexible with a focus on knowledge transfer to our clients and their staff. We remain vendor-neutral, maintaining no direct vendor partnerships, ensuring our recommendations are based solely on what's best for your organization.
Our consultants bring extensive experience from across the healthcare IT landscape, with backgrounds in both operations and leadership roles within provider organizations, consulting firms, and vendors. This unique blend allows us to bridge the gap between IT and operations—we have professionals who came from IT and developed deep operational expertise, as well as those who came from operations and developed deep IT knowledge.
