Dr Catia Pinto and Dr Tapani Piha of the HIMSS Digital Health Advisory Group for Europe (DHAGE) say this year's meeting tackled difficult topics like promoting digital literacy and successfully scaling healthcare AI.

Dr. Michael Zaroukian of the HIMSS Analytics North America Advisory Council talks about how the council shapes the models HIMSS uses to measure how health systems use digital tools to strengthen operations and improve patient care.

Dr. Chia-Ying Liu, head of Physician Hospitalist Inpatient Division at Far Eastern Memorial Hospital, says the hospital has learned from HIMSS maturity model validation to define measurable goals first, then deploy tools to achieve them.

Michael Cohen and Chanie Suttner, Discovery Health actuaries, discuss their research, which demonstrated that very high and low temperatures drive spikes in doctor visits, emergency care and hospital utilization.
