Register Your Interest — The End of Reactive Healthcare: Rewriting the Rules with Operational Digital Twins and Predictive Orchestration

NOTE: Only qualified HIMSS26 attendees who are logged in to their HIMSS26 Account will be able to register their interest for this session.

Healthcare leaders are facing a perfect storm of challenges - juggling growth, operational efficiency, and patient outcomes in a high-pressure environment that demands innovation. What if you could transform hospital operations into a finely tuned, predictable engine for sustainable growth? Dive into a groundbreaking three-part framework that’s reshaping healthcare, featuring Providence Swedish’s real-world success story.

At the heart of this transformation lies Digital Twin technology - a powerful tool that empowers leaders to virtually model their entire health system, simulate scenarios, and confidently design capacity strategies. Whether it’s adding service lines or expanding facilities, these strategies account for financial and operational interdependencies, allowing for precision and foresight. But the innovation doesn’t stop there. These strategies come to life when paired with enterprise care orchestration systems that help balance supply and demand across the hospital ecosystem. With predictive analytics at their core, these systems can anticipate pressure points up to 72 hours in advance, offering actionable insights to optimize staffing, bed capacity, and patient flow.

And it’s not just about technology - it’s about people. Learn how proven change management techniques secure staff buy-in, establish governance, and embed these innovations into daily workflows, ensuring lasting impact.

Providence Swedish is an integrated 11-facility, 2,400-bed health system serving communities across the Pacific Northwest. Their Seattle team will share their inspiring journey, showcasing how they harnessed Digital Twin technology to support a 12-story tower expansion, achieve optimal bed utilization, and manage flexible acuity across multiple sites. With their Command Center as the nerve center for capacity management, they’ll demonstrate how care orchestration can scale across an enterprise - unlocking the future of healthcare.

Learning Objectives

• Analyze how Digital Twin technology shapes capacity strategy and guides decisions on service lines, facilities, and resource allocation.
• Evaluate how enterprise care orchestration systems can operationalize strategy, manage both supply and demand, and predict system pressure points.
• Describe how predictive analytics drive proactive action by generating recommendations that relieve strain and optimize patient flow.
• Apply optimal change management techniques to build governance, secure staff buy-in and successfully implement these transformative technologies.
• Review a demonstration of the latest Command Center software to illustrate predictive analytics, pressure forecasting and action recommendations.
