HIMSS 2019

After taking a break for a few years, I was able to attend this year’s annual HIMSS conference. If you were unable to attend, I can sum up the industry trends in two words: interoperability and analytics. I was there for several days, and I never saw a presentation or exhibit that didn’t discuss analytics. It’s quite a contrast from even a few years ago.

The highlight of the event for me this year was being able to accept UNC Health Care’s award for reaching AMAM Stage 7. As one of the first and only organizations to ever reach the top, I could not be more proud of our teams at UNC Health Care. In addition, I was asked to give a talk on “How Practical Big Data Management Can Drive Value in Healthcare” (session BG5 held Monday Feb 11 at 2:30PM). I’ve posted my slides here if you would like to review the talk.
