Home after #HIMSS25! I’ve been reflecting on the key themes from the event:

🔑 Collaboration and relationships
🔑 Data quality emphasized by a need to fuel AI
🔑 #Interop is working and now we’re next era. We need more work around #digitalidentity and #directories

Looking forward to the next one!

Proof Digital Identity is a hot topic? Look at the overflow standing room only from this HL7/FAST/CARIN Alliance presentation on their digital identity pilot and their future plans.

#HIMSS25

“What I learned in Operation Warp Speed is let’s have radical partnerships to solve a problem that’s nearly unsolvable. That’s what we need to do for ransomware” - General Nakasone at #HIMSS25

General Nakasone is highlighting how Operation Warp Speed came to be, how HHS and DOD worked together and then reached out to NSA and Cyber Command to ensure the vaccine dev was protected from a cyber perspective.

Again, another example of collaboration being a key theme here at #HIMSS25

Listening to General Paul M. Nakasone, the former Commander of US Cyber Command and former Director of the National Security Agency at #HIMSS25

Key thought so far: “AI is very helpful, but not a panacea”

- The “it’s up to us” message continues with a twist from Aneesh Chopra to “it’s on us”. He evangelizes from the interop pulpit about how we need to self-organize to drive the future we want, and provides the evidence of “where the puck is going” related to chronic disease management #HIMSS25

Proof @healthcareittoday.com interviews are influential! In this #HIMSS25 #Interop Preconference Forum, Charlie Harp from @clinicalarchitecture.com highlights how @colinhung.bsky.social asked him a question last year during an interview that sparked an idea, which is what he’s sharing here today.
