Trust in AI is not built through technology alone. It is built through governance, transparency, and the ability to improve care responsibly.
Across thought leadership, policy engagement, and professional development, HIMSS is working with health systems and governments to help shape a more trusted approach to AI in healthcare.

It is a space designed for discussion, perspective, and connection across the healthcare community.
Be sure to join us for the Spotlight Awards on 20 May. View the full HIMSS Connect schedule via the link in our bio.
Healthcare systems across APAC are under intense pressure to scale AI responsibly and deliver measurable operational impact.
The HIMSS26 APAC Steering Committee brings together healthcare executives, clinicians and digital leaders to shape this year’s programme through leadership perspectives and experience from across the region.
The programme reflects the priorities, challenges, and opportunities health systems are navigating today, ranging from AI governance and workforce transformation to smart hospitals and connected care.
Meet the leaders informing HIMSS26 APAC in Singapore, 23–25 August 2026.

Mental health systems are entering the waiting list era. Demand continues to outpace capacity and delays are becoming the norm.
Hybrid care offers a way forward by combining digital support, continuous monitoring, and clinician-led intervention. As a result, systems can:
✅ Increase throughput
✅ Improve access
✅ Maintain safety through clear governance
Success goes beyond the technology alone and depends on integration into primary care, EHRs, and workforce models. The question is no longer if hybrid care works, but how to scale it across systems.

Each year on May 12, we celebrate Nursing Informatics Day by recognizing the nurses who are advancing healthcare through the thoughtful use of data, technology, and clinical expertise.
Nursing informatics professionals play a critical role in shaping digital systems, improving workflows, and ensuring that technology supports both care delivery and patient outcomes.
We are proud to work alongside nurse informaticists across the HIMSS community whose contributions continue to strengthen healthcare systems and guide digital transformation.
Thanks for all you do.
We are deeply saddened by the passing of Ivo Nelson, a leader whose impact on HIMSS continues to shape who we are today.
Ivo was a passionate advocate for expanding the reach of HIMSS beyond borders. He championed a global vision for the organization with clarity and conviction, presenting that vision multiple times and ultimately encouraging our Board of Directors to align around a more expansive future. His persistence and belief played a meaningful role in setting HIMSS on the path to becoming a truly international community.
His commitment extended well beyond the boardroom. Through the Dallas Chapter, Ivo was a consistent and generous contributor to the HIMSS Foundation for many years. He also inspired other chapters, helping to elevate a culture of giving and shared responsibility across the community.
Ivo believed deeply in the potential of HIMSS and in the people who make it what it is. He uplifted this community through his leadership, his generosity, and his belief in what we could achieve together.
We are grateful for the legacy he leaves behind.
Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and all who had the privilege of working alongside him.
Patient access is now one of healthcare’s defining leadership priorities.
Health systems are being asked to improve access, reduce friction and deliver more connected patient experiences across increasingly complex environments.
At the HIMSS AI in Healthcare Forum, Hal Wolf convenes leaders from Mass General Brigham, Brown University Health and Houston Methodist for a discussion on how AI-enabled, person-centered care models are reshaping patient access and experience.
The conversation will explore how leading organizations are embedding AI across the care continuum, from intelligent scheduling and digital front doors to AI-powered navigation and engagement strategies designed to create more seamless, responsive patient journeys.
Join healthcare leaders advancing practical, scalable approaches to AI-enabled transformation.

The HIMSS Future of AI in Healthcare Series is presented in collaboration with flagship sponsor Suki.
There comes a point when interoperability, on its own, is not enough.
In Italy, leaders are moving beyond interoperability to unlock insights that improve performance and patient safety.
With HIMSS maturity models like EMRAM and INFRAM, that shift becomes more structured and measurable. EMRAM helps improve patient outcomes, empower clinical teams, and scale personalized care, while INFRAM helps health systems build the right tools, develop effective workflows, and demonstrate the real value of their infrastructure.

Healthcare transformation is often shaped by moments of uncertainty, and the most valuable solutions emerge when people openly share their experiences.
Conversations at #HIMSS26Europe will move beyond vision statements to the realities of deployment, digital maturity and operational impact.
In this video, conference speakers Simon Rost and Jodian Barrett share why the value of HIMSS lies in the people in the room with peers leading transformation inside health systems, sharing lessons learned, measurable outcomes and practical strategies that can move the industry forward.
HIMSS26 Europe is where visionary leaders will gather to shape the future of digital health through insight, experience, and execution.

🤖🏥 How AI Is Bridging Gaps Between Patients and Health Systems in Healthcare
In the Patient Safety special section within USA Today, HIMSS explains how artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming healthcare on two parallel tracks: structured, clinician-led adoption inside health systems and evolving patient-driven use outside of clinical care. The article explores how AI is helping bring these worlds closer together, improving communication, enhancing decision-making, and supporting safer, more connected care. It also highlights why bridging the “AI health connection” is essential for strengthening outcomes, advancing equity, and ensuring responsible, coordinated use of AI across the entire healthcare ecosystem.
What’s driving the future of digital health forward?
At #HIMSS26Europe, healthcare leaders will explore the ideas, technologies and collaborations shaping what’s next, including:
✅ Practical insights on AI, cyber, interoperability, policy and the future of care.
✅ Hands-on innovation through the Interoperability Showcase® anh communities.
✅ Professional development opportunities, certifications and continuing education credits.
Every session has been designed to help health leaders turn strategy into measurable impact.
