Karla Mae Eidem of the Project Management Institute says while agentic AI can surface key insights from troves of data, project professionals have the skills to provide the structure and clarity teams need.

Sumit Nagpal, Cherish CEO, explains how a passive AI-powered device monitors patients' health at home and can trigger earlier interventions to avoid emergency room visits and reduce the cost of care.

Nurses, health systems, educators and industry leaders are aiming to guide responsible use of healthcare AI through The Nursing and Artificial Intelligence Consortium. With AI workflows impacting care and accountability, nurses are "hungry for guidance," says Jing Wang, RN, dean of FSU College of Nursing.

With the acquisition of Leap AI, Chartis is growing its Center for AI & Digital Transformation to pursue the development of bespoke artificial intelligence for healthcare organizations.

The CMS Health Technology Ecosystem will provide a single patient access point powered by modern identity systems, says Amy Gleason of U.S. DOGE Service and CMS. This will replace portal logins and enable seamless data sharing.

As home-based care and digital tools gain momentum, aided by CMS' interest in remote monitoring, Hal Wolf says healthcare will increasingly meet patients where they are, rather than depend on in-office visits.

Involvement with the HIMSS Foundation has helped Zebra Technologies CNIO Kassaundra McKnight-Young improve her efforts to develop technologies that give clinicians more time for direct patient care, she says.

As threats accelerate, Robert Herjavec, security technology entrepreneur, says he remains optimistic that AI-powered security tools can help organizations detect and block intrusions as quickly as they're launched.

Majority of physicians use AI to stay on top of medical research, create discharge instructions, document medical visits and more, says new AMA survey.

At HIMSS26, panelists said the OR is a "black box" evolving into a connected ecosystem, with surgical video and procedural data providing new ways to prevent complications.
