HIMSS26 Preview: What We’re Watching

As HIMSS approaches, the healthcare IT landscape is buzzing with innovation. For organizations focused on nationwide data exchange, HIMSS offers more than networking. It’s an opportunity to assess where the industry is moving and where innovation is actually making an impact. As we plan which sessions we will be attending, several themes are emerging that we’re excited to explore:

Interoperability as the foundation for transformation
With initiatives like TEFCA, Individual Access Services, and local-to-national data exchange shaping the healthcare landscape, interoperability and access to patient records are the baseline for meaningful transformation.

Real-world impact and efficiency gains
While FHIR testing, digital transformation, and automation promise efficiency, adoption often lags behind results. We’ll be watching where changes are actually driving measurable operational and clinical improvements.

AI and digital health innovation
How connected, high-quality data environments enable AI automated workflows and allow clinicians more time to focus on care.

Empowering patients through individual access
Initiatives like LEAP and Individual Access Services are shifting control toward patients, but challenges remain in usability and integration. How patients access, understand, and share their own health information remains a central question for practical interoperability.

Governance, standards, and policy
TEFCA, FHIR, and other frameworks set the rails, but implementation is uneven. We’ll be looking closely at how care teams and networks navigate these frameworks to make data actionable.
