HIMSS25

At the HIMSS AI in Healthcare Forum, Dennis Chornenky of UC Davis Health looked to the near future of agentic AI – and forecast fast-moving leaps in the technology that require careful planning and governance strategies.

Where data integrity and privacy are subject to a variety of complex standards, laws and rules, organizations must drive security at every turn to protect patient data as well as exchange it.

The Data: Elemental to Health campaign has been focused on public health surveillance to facilitate an immediate response to health threats.

Dr. Tabitha Offutt-Powell said the technology is evolving, but with that comes challenges and limitations.

The company's global healthcare director dives into the major update of medical search: "Both new genAI capabilities represent a significant step forward in how healthcare organizations can access, view and use critical patient information."

In the journey to better healthcare, take a lot of smaller IT steps and clear hurdles along the way – the gains made become more evident nearing the summit, says Marcus Perez, president of Altera Digital Health, at HIMSS25.

That's according to Ziv Ofek, CEO and cofounder of MDClone, who will explain best practices to make it so. He will be speaking in a HIMSS25 session and says tech that empowers independent exploring and analyzing of data is a game-changer.

Now is the time to get involved with the Healthcare and Public Health Sector Coordinating Council's strategic plan to upgrade cybersecurity from critical to stable condition, says Chris Tyberg, HSCC executive committee chair.

That's the message Patty Hayward, general manager of healthcare and life sciences at Talkdesk, will delve into at HIMSS25. She also will be speaking on making contact centers value drivers, not cost centers.
