Summary
The 2025 HIMSS National Conference in Las Vegas addressed clinician burnout, which remains a concern despite slight decreases, driven by factors such as staffing shortages and bureaucratic demands. The event, which saw lower attendance post-pandemic, emphasized advancements in digital transformation and the need for improved efficiency in electronic health records (EHR). A central takeaway was the call for a strategic shift in healthcare's approach to artificial intelligence (AI), advocating for a diversified investment strategy that balances generative AI with other modalities like machine learning. The future of AI in healthcare is anticipated to focus more on autonomous systems capable of independent decision-making, moving beyond reliance on generative technologies.
