Navigating HIMSS23: Top Picks for Healthcare IT Professionals

Get ready – the 2023 HIMSS23 Global Health Conference & Exhibition  is rapidly approaching! This year’s event will be held in Chicago between April 17-21. It will feature the industry’s top thought leaders, disruptors, and changemakers representing every sector across the global health information and technology spectrum. Peers and experts will lead discussions to develop, strengthen and leverage healthcare and technology to improve healthcare delivery. This year’s sessions will provide attendees with critical insights into several key focus areas, including but not limited to the following:  

• Prioritizing patient privacy 
• Digital transformation 
• Turbulent economic outlooks 

Patient privacy is a top priority for all healthcare organizations, especially amid healthcare’s rapid digital transformation over the past three years. As patient data moves online and cyber threats become more prevalent, securing patients’ protected healthcare information (PHI) has never been more critical.  

The HIPAA-compliant, cloud-enabled TigerConnect Clinical Collaboration Platform is designed to address these security challenges and ensure that patient information is safeguarded through secure messaging capabilities while also improving patient and staff satisfaction. 

Global economic strains have also caused profound financial pressures on health systems. The U.S. healthcare industry spent billions of dollars on administrative tasks in 2022 than in 2021 due to increased hospital utilization and a continuing labor shortage. As healthcare costs continue to increase and emergency departments across the country remain in a constant battle between understaffing and long wait times, clinical workflows that streamline clinical communication and collaboration are gaining traction for their ability to solve these complications and provide more benefits. The benefits of improving clinical workflows include:  

• Removing redundancies and reducing administrative tasks 
• Enabling providers to be more efficient with fewer staff  
• Reducing wasteful spending and ensuring success in the digital healthcare landscape
