At HIMSS 2026, Microsoft Dragon Copilot advances unified AI workflows to help clinicians reduce complexity and stay focused on patients.
This post is co-authored by Robert Weideman, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Enterprise Division, Nuance The disruption of the pandemic has shifted customer service expectations, and for many brands, it has cemented superior customer experiences as one of the most important priorities for their organization.
This blog post is co-authored by Diana Nole, EVP and GM of Healthcare, Nuance There is nothing more personal or important than our health. These last two years have exacerbated an already fragile healthcare ecosystem, taxed our essential services, and put unimaginable strain on frontline workers.
Healthcare stakeholders are moving away from fee-for-service and towards value-based models to meet the demands of aging and millennial populations while also meeting an ambitious national healthcare agenda. Today, regulatory and market forces have led to improved transparency and enhanced consumerization, changing the face of healthcare.
Microsoft is certainly no stranger to transforming industries, from retail and financial services to manufacturing, and government, we are focused on empowering every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more.
In every industry around the world, the past several months have seen organizations adjust to challenges, pursue new business opportunities, and accelerate their digital capabilities in the face of the pandemic that has reshaped our world. Disruption demands the capacity to turn challenge into opportunity.
In a data-first world, healthcare organizations depend on their ability to gain and access insights from data. Helping our customers to digitally transform means breaking down the silos for data flow across the continuum of care.
In this dynamic healthcare era, there’s no more “business as usual.” The way healthcare organizations will work, engage with patients and support community health will never be the same, and it may feel like there’s no roadmap for what’s ahead.
The connection between patients, care teams, and data is fundamental to delivering the best possible outcomes. Health organizations are investing in new care services, like virtual visits, home health, and remote patient monitoring, that allow them to connect with patients and provide an experience that is well-informed with essential health data.
In a post-pandemic world, where quarantining and social distancing may no longer be the norm, the emerging hybrid model of patient care will empower access to care for all and the changes will likely accelerate into the years ahead.
According to a recent Frost & Sullivan report, “Digital Investments in Healthcare Through COVID-19 and Beyond,” most healthcare organizations are in some stage of digital transformation, either on their accord or spurred by the immense changes in healthcare delivery during the pandemic. Additionally, Rock Health notes that at the end of June 2021, funding for health tech startups surpassed all of 2020.
With a theme of “be the change,” HIMSS21 had something for everyone, whether participants attended in person or online.
It’s hard to believe another year of HIMSS is upon us and given the impact of COVID-19 on our society, we’ve all had to rethink how we approach connecting with community and engaging with audiences this past year. So, we are delighted that HIMSS21 will be offered both in-person and digitally—so everyone, everywhere can join together.
