Thanks for the great conversation at #HIMSS25 @chris-harrop.bsky.social!

Home after #HIMSS25! I’ve been reflecting on the key themes from the event: 🔑 Collaboration and relationships 🔑 Data quality emphasized by a need to fuel AI 🔑 #Interop is working and now we’re next era. We need more work around #digitalidentity and #directories Looking forward to the next one!

Proof Digital Identity is a hot topic? Look at the overflow standing room only from this HL7/FAST/CARIN Alliance presentation on their digital identity pilot and their future plans. #HIMSS25

Listening to General Paul M. Nakasone, the former Commander of US Cyber Command and former Director of the National Security Agency at #HIMSS25 Key thought so far: “AI is very helpful, but not a panacea”

Yesterday was an awesome “opening” day for #HIMSS25! Continuing #interop key themes: ⭐️ Collaboration and using existing infrastructure for new ideas ⭐️ Digital identity as the next frontier to better know and trust who we’re interacting with ⭐️ Expanding use of Directories enabling exchange

#HIMSS25 #Interop Preconference Forum takeaways: - The micdrop moment when Angie Bass from Velatura answered why interop isn’t working everywhere. “No money, no mandate” - We are fooling ourselves if we let standards get in the way of nationwide interop

Proof @healthcareittoday.com interviews are influential! In this #HIMSS25 #Interop Preconference Forum, Charlie Harp from @clinicalarchitecture.com highlights how @colinhung.bsky.social asked him a question last year during an interview that sparked an idea, which is what he’s sharing here today.

Great session on the state of #interop and #HIEs moderated by the excellent @lisabari.bsky.social! #HIMSS25 Key takeaways: - No one seems to be owning education here - Patient consent needs to happen, we also need to acknowledge/solve the tradeoffs - Trust and trust agreements are paramount

Seems only fitting to kick off use of Bluesky listening to the one and only @healthapiguy.bsky.social at #HIMSS25!
