I was pleased with the robust turnout at HIMSS this year; it does seem like the healthcare industry is making up for the lost time from the pandemic. The topics that dominated the conference included teasing out the nuanced approach to safely deploying Chat GPT/AI into the industry (and when not to), health equity, and the patient journey. Workforce burnout continues to be a major issue in healthcare, though I think we could have spent even more time discussing solutions here, given its profound impact on every aspect and stakeholder of the care continuum. While this is not a new phenomenon, it is certainly the biggest challenge to the industry currently.
