We at HIMSS were deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Richard “Dick” Perry Covert, PhD — a visionary whose leadership helped shape HIMSS and the digital health movement. When Dick became Director of the Hospital Management Engineering Society in 1976, he championed the then-radical idea that computers could transform health care far beyond accounting. His leadership helped guide the Society’s evolution into what is now HIMSS, and the routine use of digital tools in care today reflects the future he saw long before the rest of the industry. Dick was recognized as a Fellow of both HIMSS and the Institute of Industrial Engineers’ Health Services Division, and in 2024 we were honored to celebrate his pioneering contributions at the HIMSS Global Conference. On behalf of the HIMSS community, we extend our deepest condolences to Dick’s family and loved ones. His legacy and vision continue to guide our mission.
