Putting empathy front and center in healthcare requires advanced EHRs – and means giving frontline workers the freedom to build personal relationships with patients as they see fit.

Experts with the health information technology project at the Pew Charitable Trusts will share insights on the state of pandemic-era health data exchange at HIMSS21.

At HIMSS21, medical informaticists from the Pennsylvania health system will describe how they help ensure mobile strategies align with larger enterprise goals.

Many health systems have over-designed their electronic health records, resulting in a lot of noise and non-value-added data elements, say Banner nursing informaticists, who will talk more about the essential clinical dataset at HIMSS21.

A director at Hope for Henry, which is dedicated to improving the hospital experience for children, will offer compassionate strategies for adherence-based programming at HIMSS21.

"As patient engagement becomes more easily scaled through better digital tools, we do risk oversaturation of our patients," says one UPMC clinician ahead of his HIMSS21 presentation.

At HIMSS21, an informaticist at Greater Baltimore Medical Center will explain how AI-powered documentation is enabling better patient outcomes and greater efficiency for physicians.

Dr. Alan Lotvin, executive vice president of CVS Health, says it's time to focus more on technology-enabled medication adherence. He'll explain more at HIMSS21 next week.

"AI has the potential to be the mechanism by which we achieve rapid and accurate understanding of new problems and challenges in the clinical environment," says Jvion's CMIO ahead of his HIMSS21 presentation.

With application programming interfaces, "insights can be delivered in a form that best engages their value: directly into another application or its own application and UI," says a Change Healthcare leader in advance of HIMSS21.
