HIMSS 2025 was a dynamic gathering where healthcare leaders, innovators, and decision-makers convened to address some of the most pressing challenges facing the industry today. From improving care delivery to addressing systemic inefficiencies, this year’s event offered a clear snapshot of healthcare’s shifting priorities and opportunities.
One unifying theme emerged above all others—artificial intelligence (AI). Several attendees shared their perspectives on the topic through a survey at the Wolters Kluwer booth, and nearly half of respondents identified AI as the single most important topic of interest. While AI was a central focus, the survey also highlighted critical pain points echoing across the industry. Interoperability, clinician burnout, and reducing administrative burdens were identified as key challenges by participants.
