Workflow
Health tech has the ability to address unmet needs, though careful, thoughtful adoption is required to ensure safe, systemwide impact, says Esther Kim, head of emerging technologies at Mass General Brigham.
Virtual sitting supports continuous patient safety when bedside observation is needed. The 51-hospital health system narrowed its choices down to two very different models. The telemedicine chief offers a deep dive into this competition.
With an artificial intelligence-powered medical search and decision support platform, the health system's physicians can access the latest clinical evidence for use in patient care.
The Samsung Medical Center-led network is looking to add more partners to promote their continuity of care model.
Success Stories & ROI
After careful research, the hospital changed its practices – and was able to eliminate nearly 500 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions last year alone. A pediatric anesthesiologist describes how the HIMSS EMRAM Stage 7 facility achieved this feat.
With the clinical artificial intelligence agent, doctors are able to spend less time sifting through drop-down menus and typing on their laptops to document patient visits, the EHR company says.
Erik Decker, chief information security officer at Intermountain Health discusses the Sector Mapping and Risk Management Toolkit (SMART), which he'll demonstrate at HIMSS26 as a means to help manage systemic risk.
An interactive workshop at HIMSS26 offers healthcare leaders hands-on advice for integrating LLMs into clinical workflows – and engineering them for cost effectiveness and speed.
The goal is for passwordless authentication to streamline clinical workflows, strengthen cybersecurity and reduce operational burden, the company said.
Sustaining Rural Health
Improving accountability and streamlining technical complexities are key to improving cybersecurity postures now at small- to medium-sized hospitals, says Jackie Mattingly of Clearwater.
