Mercy's Tracy Breece expects that in five years artificial intelligence will seamlessly integrate into nurses' workflows, empowering them to fully engage with patients and provide holistic care.

Dr Kun-Ju Lin, deputy information security chief at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Linkou in Taiwan, will share real-world execution of their digital transformation strategies at HIMSS25 APAC. 

Symplr's platform aims to integrate systems to reduce nurses' workload and give them more time for patient care. The company's Tony DiGiorgio says it can help nurses struggling with managing data across many digital tools.

The company's augmented reality surgical technology allows surgeons see a virtual spine overlay directly on a patient during an operation, eliminating the need to look at a monitor. Founder Nissan Elimelech explains.

The restructuring will divide Amazon Health Services into six divisions to better focus on improving patient experiences and solidifying its pharmacy business, led by appointees from within the company.

As nursing continues to evolve, nurses must educate themselves on informatics and digital health trends to provide better care for patients, says Regina Wysocki, senior informatics program manager at Lone Star Communications.

Sara Meinke and Asad Tariq of Baptist Health say they took an outcomes-driven approach to lessening clinicians' burden, helping reach the highest level of the community care maturity model.

Cooper University Health Care launched a social determinants of health hackathon to help solve systemic issues faced by its patient population, says Dr. Michael Kirchhoff, chief innovation officer.

Convening thought leadership and promoting maturity models that measure integration success are just two of the ways HIMSS is helping support and advance AI across the healthcare industry, said President and CEO Hal Wolf at HIMSS25 Europe.

Execs are eager to use genAI to optimize workflow and improve clinical sustainability, but a readiness gap persists.
