Healthcare Program Executive: HIMSS 2025: Top 5 Insights

Posted on by
Reply

At the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) Global Health Conference and Exhibition 2025, health IT professionals, healthcare personnel and Government leaders joined to connect on the latest trends in the healthcare industry. As a provider and distributor of health IT solutions, 探花视频 and its partners are equipped to communicate recent trends and connect care providers, agencies and companies with the technology they need to embrace the future of healthcare. 

Here are the top 5 insights for the technology industry and Government from this year鈥檚 conference.鈥&苍产蝉辫;


1. Utilizing Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare  

Healthcare must ensure all provided tools are safe, effective and ethical to ensure the best outcomes for patients. As the widespread adoption of artificial intelligence in the healthcare industry is relatively new, providers and public health officials should employ risk management practices, strong governance and transparency with their usage of the tool.  

Providers should employ best practices for AI usage:  

  • Understand AI鈥檚 risk profile 
  • Ensure that data is representative of patients 
  • Address potential biases  

With continuous monitoring, providers can mitigate any potential model drifts and gain better oversight of the dynamic nature of AI systems. By highlighting the areas of risk, the healthcare system can make informed decisions on which tools, solutions and personnel to deploy to mitigate risk.  

探花视频 HIMSS AI Interoperability Tradeshow Recap Blog Embedded Image 2025

There are many opportunities for AI in Healthcare. In the session 鈥淗L鈥檚 Ride on the AI Train,鈥 the Chief Executive Officer of HL7 International, Charles Jaffe, discussed how AI can enable healthcare providers to promote interoperability. AI can also help providers address industry concerns, such as data provenance and data lineage. In the session 鈥淪haping the Future of healthcare: A Collaborative Care Journey Where Technology and Humanity Coexist,鈥 speakers Seung Woo Park and Meong Hi Son, respectively the President and Chief Medical Information Officer and Associate Professor at Samsung Medical Center (SMC), mentioned that SMC reduced the nurse turnover rate from 9.3% to 5.9% by assisting their workflow with AI and automation. In the session 鈥淒isruptive Technologies: Examining the Challenges and Opportunities of Cyber, AI and Beyond,鈥 the Former Commander and U.S. Cyber Command and Former Director at the National Security Agency, Paul Nakasone, noted that AI-driven behavior changes could transform healthcare and prevent chronic diseases. Using AI to get suggestions on sleep, meditation, diet and stress management can all help in between doctor visits to chip away at chronic diseases. Through the collaboration of providers and technology, service in healthcare can be reshaped for the better, providing a gateway into personal medicine. 


2. Improving Healthcare Quality through Interoperability  

Another point of discussion at HIMSS was the role of digital technology and standards in improving healthcare quality. The National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) has several initiatives, such as the Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) data model and the Bulk FHIR Quality Coalition, aimed at enhancing digital quality measurement by enabling end-to-end FHIR data exchanges. Quality measurement has evolved, and standardized clinical data helps accelerate that evolution. With modern computing platforms and technologies, such as Bulk FHIR, healthcare institutions can utilize real-time, continuous data processing, improving data encryption, data security and quality measurement. With comprehensive and timely data sharing among healthcare stakeholders, patients can get results from labs and pharmacies quicker, and can share their data across different healthcare offices, improving the affordability and quality of services.   


3. Addressing Veteran Needs in Collaboration with CMS 

On average, patients have their medical data located at 5.6 different locations, making interoperability, the ability of information to be exchanged between different health systems or technology systems, instrumental in helping patients and providers alike to improve the healthcare experience. 

In the session 鈥淎 Discussion: Transforming Care Through Interoperability,鈥 members of the Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) and University of Oklahoma discussed the benefits of interoperability for veterans. Data sharing between the VA and the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) can address healthcare challenges, such as dementia, suicidal ideation, traumatic brain injury (TBI) and oncology by enabling the two agencies to collaborate to achieve actionable approaches for real-world cases. For example, improving care coordination, optimizing resource utilization and driving better outcomes for veterans and other patients. 

Data sharing and collaboration is key to achieving efficient and effective healthcare delivery in the modernized health data infrastructure. In modernizing the infrastructure of the healthcare industry through interoperability, providers and patients can alleviate the work burden and work towards finding solutions at an expedited and swifter rate. The need for remote patient monitoring tools (RPM) is key to assist physicians and clinicians with increased data collection to support real-time treatment of these chronic illnesses for our veterans.

4. Leveraging Data to Improve Service 

Digital health increases the speed of learning, helps patients and providers overcome health inequity and increases the effectiveness of virtual care. In the session 鈥淐ase Study: Missouri鈥檚 Mission to Transform Digital Health,鈥 speakers Joshua Wymer, the Chief Health Information and Data Strategy Officer of the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS), and Natasha Ramontal, the Digital Health Strategist in Community Outcomes for HIMSS, discussed the DHSS鈥 journey to transform digital health. To address the needs of businesses, HIMSS and the DHSS teamed up, eliminating duplicate data sets, reducing volumes of data entry and improving regulatory oversight. Through their collaboration in improving the handling of data, the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services became the first state level organization to successfully implement HIMSS鈥 Digital Health Indicator model.  


5. Bolstering Cybersecurity Mitigation with OCR and HIPAA 

In the session 鈥淧reparing for OCR鈥檚 Revived HIPAA Security Audits,鈥 speaker Nadia Faheem Coster, the Executive Vice President of Permit Intelligence Services, discussed the Department of Health and Human Services鈥 Office of Civil Rights (OCR) 2025 audit program, which applies to fifty entities and business associates. The audit focuses on decreasing hacking and ransomware attacks.  

HIMSS_Day 1_Preparing for OCR Revived HIPAA Security Audits

To combat bad actors, Coster recommends:  

  1. Maintaining a risk management plan 
  1. Conducting annual secure risk assessments 
  1. Ensuring all policies and procedures are up to date 

Coster also emphasized the need for segmentation and asset inventory under the proposed Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Security 2.0 rule. All related health systems and the IT industry should ensure their software and hardware are compliant under the proposed ruling. System resiliency is the gold standard for health systems looking to comply with the HIPAA Security 2.0 ruling. 


Data sharing, cybersecurity awareness, interoperability and artificial intelligence all enable cheaper and quicker work, whether it is sharing information between healthcare providers or on internal day-to-day operations, while ensuring quality care. By enabling the latest solutions in healthcare technology, health systems can create a better work environment for providers and a seamless experience for patients.

Navy Customer Executive: WEST 2025: Top 10 Insights on AI, Cybersecurity and More

Posted on by
Reply

Government leaders, military officials and industry professionals gathered at AFCEA鈥檚 WEST 2025 conference to discuss the newest technologies, modern networking capabilities and cybersecurity initiatives that enhance operations within the Sea Services. As a technology provider for the Department of Defense (DoD) and industry experts affiliated with the Navy, 探花视频 and its partners are deeply aligned with the goals of the Navy and Sea Services and is committed to providing mission-critical technologies to keep the country safe. 探花视频 and over 90 of our partners, including Adobe, Appgate, Crowdstrike, Docusign, HashiCorp, Hitachi, Qualys and WIZ joined at WEST 2025 to showcase solutions in artificial intelligence (AI), cybersecurity, DevSecOps, Zero Trust and more.  

Check out the action from San Diego, California in our West 2025 recap video!

Here are the top ten insights for the technology industry and Government from this year鈥檚 conference.  

1. Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the U.S. Navy

There are many opportunities for AI in the Navy, such as the OpenShip Tool and its usage of OpenAI鈥檚 Whisper model to translate incoming communications through the Navy鈥檚 Very High Frequency (VHF) radios. Remote monitoring can detect issues with technology and support rapid troubleshooting. AI can also be used to predict turnaround time, helping the workforce choose when to prioritize projects and deliver items on time.  

AI can simplify operations. PMS 406 unmanned Maritime Systems runs the Unmanned Maritime Autonomy Architecture (UMAA), whose architecture creates a low barrier of entry for operation. With AI, update 6.0 of the UMAA and the Navy鈥檚 鈥淩eplicator initiative,鈥 which works to field hundreds of autonomous systems by August 2025,鈥 every soldier could operate a drone.  

In the session 鈥淔leet AI Deployment,鈥 Lieutenant Artem Sherbinin, the Chief Technology Officer for the U.S. Navy 鈥榮 Task Force Hopper, reviewed the three priority areas for the Navy鈥檚 AI usage, which are to: 

  • Outthink adversaries 
  • Enhance administrative work 
  • Maintain goal of keeping 80% of combat surge-ready fleet 

By using AI capabilities, the Navy can empower its acquisition force to act efficiently and quickly. Lieutenant Sherbinin also discussed two upcoming projects. Navy warships produce 150TB of data per warship per day. To manage this massive volume of data, the Navy is building a Warfighting Data and AI Ecosystem. This tool鈥檚 requirements are being drafted and will be submitted in the upcoming fiscal year, but currently include components such as data extraction, data processing and sensor updates to ships underway. Vendors should keep an eye out for pre-RFPs and RFI opportunities surrounding this capability.  The second project is a new Commercial Solutions Offering (CSO), the Surface Lethality CSO. This soon to be released solution will be released through the Defense Innovation Unit on AI for Surface Lethality, and will expedite decision-making and enable the Navy to keep ahead of adversaries.  

2. Red Teaming to Improve Cybersecurity

In the session 鈥淟everaging Cloud to Accelerate Unmanned and Autonomous System (UAS) Mission Critical Capabilities,鈥 Allen Mcafee, CTO of Fuse Integration, discussed the desire to increase red teaming鈥攁 process for testing cybersecurity by having allied hackers conduct non-threatening breaches鈥攁mongst autonomous systems to increase the robust quality of existing programs, especially in the electronic and kinetic fields. Vendors that specialize in cybersecurity solutions for autonomous systems should offer red team services to help solidify UAS security.  

3. The Importance of Maritime Trade to Cybersecurity

In the session 鈥淥ffice of Naval Intelligence Brief,鈥 Rear Admiral Mike Brooks, Commander of the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI), spoke heavily on the criticality of maritime trade and the effect it has on the posture of the Navy. Chokeholds on shipping ports can hinder the economy, and so ONI is placing further emphasis on gathering intelligence in this area to preserve supply chains.   

4. DISA鈥檚 New Cloud-Based Mission Partner Environment

To address logistic challenges, the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) developed a mission partner environment within the cloud. This tool acts as a joint sustainment decision tool and will feature an application hosting platform. DISA will initially host this environment, but is looking for commercial partners to host the platform and ensure its accessibility to all allies and partners. 

5. Business Initiatives

The Navy has upgraded its approach to doing business, releasing its Information Superiority Vision (ISV) 2.0. In the initial version, the Navy鈥檚 framework for business was “Modernize, Innovate and Defend.鈥 The 2.0 System is: 

Optimize – IT teams can integrate new systems and turn off outdated ones 

Secure – Personnel should think proactively in the design phase, rather than the more reactive 鈥渄efend鈥 

Decide – Staff places data into the hands of people who need it 

This new system focuses on being proactive and innovative, integrating a focus on the workforce. Vendors should determine how their solutions fit into one or more of these pillars when marketing their technology and solutions.

The Navy can learn from all types of industries and technology. Former Commander of the U.S. Pacific Command and Former Ambassador to the Republic of South Korea Admiral Harry B. Harris Jr. recounts an example from the 1930s where the Marine Corps struggled to field a landing craft. The solution came from examining a small civilian craft in the local area, showcasing a 鈥淗iggins Boat Moment鈥 where the Marine Corps were able to learn from civilian technologies, highlighting the importance of dual-use technology that is prioritized by the DoD. 

Business is fulfilled when employees have bandwidth. In the session 鈥淏ringing Enterprise IT to the Edge to Accelerate Innovation,鈥 Captain Kevin White of the PEO C4I PMW/A 170 Navy Communications and GPS Navigation Program discussed how bandwidth can fall into three different categories: morale, business applications and tactical services. When sailors have excellent bandwidth for morale and business applications, they are more efficient tactically.  

The DoD is working on a portal that provides information and education on Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (SBTT) programs. This portal assists in creating effective proposals and understanding language and resources. This page, is still in development and will continue to be fleshed out in the upcoming weeks.   

6. Renewing Technology

In the session 鈥淚鈥檓 charged with Putting a Flux Capacitor in a 1995 Mazda,鈥 Brigadier General of the U.S. Marine Corps and Commanding General of the Marine Corps Installations West Nick I. Brown mentions that whether it is power systems or IT, infrastructure needs to be in place to accept new technology. Much of the DoD鈥檚 infrastructure is build on legacy systems or is out of date and needs to be replaced or upgraded before advanced solutions can be put in place. The U.S. Marine Corps is looking for vendors to help with new technology instillations and upgrading existing infrastructure, especially on the West coast. The U.S. Navy is allocating funds to achieve similar goals.  It aims to improve its outdated infrastructure and systems to carry out technology initiatives by the Program Executive Office Digital and support the Navy鈥檚 culture of excellence.  

In the session 鈥淲hy Have a Lambo if You Don鈥檛 Have the Road?鈥, Col. Jared Voneida discussed five major areas that DISA is working on: 

  • Building commercial and Government data centers 
  • Improving theater transport and host nation infrastructure 
  • Fortifying existing cybersecurity infrastructure and Defensive Cyberspace Operations-Internal Defensive Measures (DCO-IDM) 
  • Maintaining command and control of the network 
  • Completing initiatives by 2027 

The Colonel also emphasized the need to divest from legacy time division multiplexing (TDM) infrastructure. While AI and machine learning (ML) has a plethora of uses, until AI/ML software divests from TDM infrastructure, DISA cannot utilize it effectively to assist with their network and data. With updated networks and hardware in place, the Navy and DoD can utilize the newest advanced solutions.  

7. IT at the Center of the Workforce 

To meet the rising demand in recruitment, the Navy has released its new enlisting agent, Robotics Warfare Specialist. With cybersecurity being more at the center of safety, the Navy aims to train more sailors in IT. Additionally, the Navy has released a new enlisted rating, Robotics Warfare Specialist, a new job that helps ensure effective planning and control of autonomous systems.  

8. Improving Productivity by Decreasing Troubleshooting

IT and software issues can lead to lost productivity. RAND Corporation, a research and development nonprofit, recently regarding the viral LinkedIn post 鈥溾 that highlighted user experience challenges with IT systems in the DoD. Their report estimated, on the conservative side, $2.5 billion in lost productivity due to IT and software difficulties.  The Sea Services aim to increase the user friendliness of software to decrease the time lost to troubleshooting. In the sessions 鈥淏ringing Enterprise IT to the Edge to Accelerate Innovation,鈥 Captain White of the U.S. Navy attributed the largest productivity gaps to IT teams relying on command line programing. Captain White encourages industries to develop more user-friendly systems that do not rely on command lines.   

9. Compliance is No Longer Enough

In the session 鈥淒ON CIO Perspective,鈥 Navy CIO Jane Rathbun states that while Authority to Operate (ATO) tells you how secure a system is at that point in time, it does not encourage the readiness mindset that is optimal for protecting cybersecurity. Rathbun encourages switching to continuous monitoring and authorizations of systems, rather than stopping at ATO compliance. Rathbun specifically noted threat analysis and continuous monitoring as areas vendors might be assessed on in the future.  

10. DevSecOps Products that Improve Marine Corps Productivity 

The Marine Corps showcased 11 different products manufactured by the software factory product line related to development, security and operations (DevSecOps).  

Check out details on the products below: 

  • MyCareer 鈥 Supports the Manpower Management Enlisted Assignments (MMEA) and aids Marines by monitoring conversations, providing a virtual queue and matching partners based on data on marine preferences 
  • ItemEyes 鈥 Provides marine units with a digitized inventory 
  • Sensor Processing Analysis Radar Translation Application (SPARTA) 鈥 Hosts data from radar, automatic identification system (AIS) and unmanned systems all in one user-friendly interface 
  • CRUSADER 鈥 Controls, processes and detects radar information in one easy to use library 
  • Real-time Alerting, Interference Detection & Electromagnetic Reporting (RAIDER) 鈥 Provides real-time alerts for anomalies detected in the electromagnetic spectrum 
  • All-domain Electromagnetic and Radio Organic Trainer (AeroT) 鈥 Helps Marines simulate and visualize their electromagnetic signature 
  • EXODUS 鈥 Provides evacuees located abroad with personal services, such as mobile passport processing 
  • TAK Design System 鈥 Helps Marines navigate and build plugins for Tactical Assault Kit (TAK) 
  • ReserveHub 鈥 Enables Marines to find ideal areas when relocating, boosting retention rates 
  • SnapDB 鈥 Analyzes pictures taken by unmanned aerial systems (UAS) 
  • J-Series Message Library, Government Open-Source (JSML) 鈥 Translates code into J-Series 

Through the developing partnerships between the technology industry and Government as well as 探花视频 and our partners, the DoD can streamline in areas such as artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, DevSecOps, compliance and more.
