At the HIMSS AI in Healthcare Forum, Dennis Chornenky of UC Davis Health looked to the near future of agentic AI – and forecast fast-moving leaps in the technology that require careful planning and governance strategies.

The Data: Elemental to Health campaign has been focused on public health surveillance to facilitate an immediate response to health threats.

Dr. Tabitha Offutt-Powell said the technology is evolving, but with that comes challenges and limitations.

In the journey to better healthcare, take a lot of smaller IT steps and clear hurdles along the way – the gains made become more evident nearing the summit, says Marcus Perez, president of Altera Digital Health, at HIMSS25.

That's according to Ziv Ofek, CEO and cofounder of MDClone, who will explain best practices to make it so. He will be speaking in a HIMSS25 session and says tech that empowers independent exploring and analyzing of data is a game-changer.

That's the message Patty Hayward, general manager of healthcare and life sciences at Talkdesk, will delve into at HIMSS25. She also will be speaking on making contact centers value drivers, not cost centers.

Helen Waters previews a host of technologies the EHR giant will be showcasing in its booth and in educational sessions. They include generative AI, intelligent search and Meditech-as-a-Service.

The company is focused on "completely reinventing" its EHR into a "system of intelligence that helps health systems drive efficiency, improve clinical care, accelerate innovation and reduce costs," says General Manager Seema Verma.

At HIMSS25, Halima Ahmadi-Montecalvo, vice president of research and evaluation at Unite Us, talks social determinants of health program design that drives ROI. She also offers technology tips for show attendees.
