HIMSS 2026 felt different.
This year wasn’t about AI hype. It was about what actually works.
In this episode, I break down the real signals coming out of HIMSS:
AI moving from pilots to enterprise rollout
The growing gap between leaders and everyone else
Why ROI is now expected, not optional
How governance is becoming part of the foundation
And a shift toward when AI becomes standard, not just possible
I also share a powerful moment from Jeremy Renner’s keynote that highlights a bigger issue healthcare still hasn’t solved: coordination and data sharing.
This is a practical recap for anyone leading operations, IT, or transformation in healthcare.
