Navigating the Headwinds of Healthcare Change: Using Digital Health Information as a Strategic Lever

In an era where today's global healthcare environment is pressure-filled and dynamic, the HIMSS26 Executive Summit program delivers strategic guidance for healthcare information and technology executives who are committed to leading through digital health information.

Our carefully selected themes, developed by the HIMSS26 Executive Summary Advisory Board, amplifies healthcare's fundamental purpose: improving patient outcomes and delivering positive impact through exceptional care.  By addressing digital health technologies like AI, innovation, virtual care models, patient-centered excellence, and others, we will position executive leaders to convert the challenges presented by today's "headwinds of healthcare" into meaningful experiences.

The HIMSS26 Executive Summit invites qualified* health and information technology executives to engage with peers who have successfully leveraged people, processes, and technologies to navigate industry disruption and drive sustainable results. Please join us to gain pragmatic approaches, insights, and tangible recommendations that will continue to shape the future of healthcare delivery.

Don’t just witness the future of healthcare—help create it at HIMSS26.

*Qualified healthcare executives are those who are a member of the Executive Leadership Team at their said employer, e.g., provider, payer, select non-profits, government or pharma organizations, associations, academic organizations, or other similar non-commercially based organizations and have paid the registration fee.  (Market suppliers are excluded).
