Conversations at HIMSS23
HIMSS23 was nothing short of outstanding. I was thrilled to see the familiar faces of colleagues and clients, mingle with new acquaintances, and attend an abundance of inspiring presentations.
Over the course of the event, I also had the chance to personally discuss how innovations in data analytics are impacting staff culture, financial success, clinical metrics and leadership strategy with several healthcare experts and enthusiasts from across the industry, gaining valuable insights.
