The winners were    announced at the 3rd Annual World Healthcare Innovation and Technology    Congress (WHIT 3.0). The awards were presented Sunday, Dec. 9, at the    conference's networking gala at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Washington.    The awards were co-sponsored by WHIT 3.0 and Health Data Management. 
       
      First place and    runner-up awards were presented in four categories: large hospitals, medium    and small hospitals, group practices, and payers. Nominees were chosen by the    Health Data Management editorial staff. Editors combed through the hundreds    of staff-written stories and identified organizations that are setting new    standards of innovation through their use of commercial and homegrown    software.
