Hal Wolf on HIMSS23: “It feels like we are all back”
At the HIMSS23 media briefing held yesterday, the number of attendees was announced as 35,000 – a significant increase over 2021 and 2022’s attendance. This result led Harold (Hal) Wolf, President and CEO of HIMSS to declare to the gathered journalists: “Let’s be honest, this is the first HIMSS where it feels like we are all back.” HIMSS23 certainly felt fuller and busier than the conferences held in 2021 and 2022. There were large crowds at the entrance to both halls of the exhibit floor, you had to constantly dodge fellow attendees who were paying more attention to their phones than their surroundings, and ther...

Biggest Themes from #HIMSS23
As we reach kind of the midpoint of the HIMSS 2023 annual conference, a few themes have really come into shape.

The two biggest themes at HIMSS are the two topics that are top of mind at most healthcare organizations: workforce and revenue. I think it’s probably fair to say that HIMSS 2023 attendees are burnt out of talking about how burnt out everyone in healthcare is right now. Plus, it seems like this problem is likely going to get worse. I guess the one bright spot in all of th...

Data Quality is a Journey Not a Destination According to Clinical Architecture
Data quality is not a destination. It is a journey or perhaps a state of mind according to Clinical Architecture. There is risk in treating good data quality as a destination because what constitutes good quality today may not be sufficient for future needs. Data must be continuously improved, audited, and refined. Clinical Architecture has created a data quality journey map that helps its clients get started and continue pushing for improved data quality. We spoke with Charlie Harp, CEO of Clinical Architecture via email about the data quality journey and what it’s implications are for healthcare organizations. 1. In th...
