I’ve been attending the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) conference in Las Vegas, and the buzz around artificial intelligence is palpable. Last year, executives expressed concerns about AI’s potential for inaccuracies, or “hallucinations,” but this year, the sentiment has shifted dramatically. The focus is now squarely on moving forward with AI implementation.
How has the conversation evolved?
The difference is striking. Executives are no longer hesitant but are instead actively exploring AI applications. The conversations aren’t about if AI will be adopted, but how it will be integrated into healthcare systems. The shift indicates growing confidence in the technology and a recognition of its potential to transform the industry. Discussions around AI and interoperability have been particularly prominent, anticipating the topic of tomorrow’s Health Tech newsletter.
