Final note from General Nakasone?

We need to adapt, adopt, and advance.

This will drive innovation and quality in health care.

#HIMSS25

General Nakasone highlights the importance of preparing the next generation for cybersecurity. We’re facing a completely different future. “We have to be much more aggressive in investing in our future talent. I hope we look at this as our Sputnik moment” #HIMSS25

“I want policy writers who can code, and coders who understand policy. Wouldn’t it be great if clinicians could code, and coders understood what clinicians do?” - General Nakasone at #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

Thank you for the shoutout and including me!

General Nakasone highlights an article from @microsoft.com that shows the cyber resilience landscape of rural hospitals.

Spoiler alert: it’s not good.

- 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

- Lots of conversations around #DigitalIdentity and federation in healthcare. This is the next frontier to tackle, and soon

- Bad actors answer knowledge based identity verification at twice the success rate of the actual person in question. Bad actors are bad, but they aren’t stupid.

Great! Can’t wait to see you and catch up 🤗

Are you going to be here at #HIMSS25 @hitreeset.bsky.social?

5 - Overall, the underlying message: keep going. Keep the patient and the mission centered. There’s more work to be done 💪

Seems like a good #TeamInterop message to me! #HIMSS25

4 - The AI we have today is the worst we will see in our lifetime. It’s only going to get better, but also will create more challenges to solve. #HIMSS25

3 - AI demands data, and it’s going to push #interop. Data needs to be better and cleaner to make AI work. #HIMSS25

2 - We’re never going to be done in #interoperability. There’s always going to be iteration and evolution, as there should be. #HIMSS25

Key takeaways:
1- Stop judging #interop progress based on standard adoption. Focus more on ubiquity of ability to exchange. #HIMSS25
