Beyond the Conference Floor: How Industry Events Drive Our Healthcare IT Excellence

By Ken Wagner | December 4, 2024

At Henry Elliott & Company, staying immersed in healthcare IT developments means more than reading industry news and engaging in Zoom meetings.

With so much of business taking place online, in-person conferences have taken on renewed significance. We enjoy nothing more than engaging in hands-on workshops and connecting face-to-face with innovators, peers, and prospects. A simple act like walking the conference halls can lead to unexpected meetings and new insights that you cannot replicate elsewhere.

Each year, our team attends these strategic events to deepen our expertise in InterSystems technologies, strengthen client relationships, and identify emerging solutions that enhance our healthcare IT staffing and consulting services. Perhaps we’ve seen you at conferences like HIMSS Global Health Conference & Exhibition, InterSystems Global Summit, Civitas Networks for Health, and HLTH.

In this post, we’ll explore how our conference participation translates directly to better outcomes for the organizations that we partner with.

How Healthcare IT Conference Insights Drive Successful InterSystems Implementations

Conference Insights

At InterSystems Global Summit, for instance, we observe firsthand how organizations are maximizing their IRIS Data Platform and HealthShare implementations. We see hospitals successfully migrating legacy applications to the cloud while maintaining system performance. HIMSS conference sessions reveal innovative approaches to data integration — from VA facilities modernizing their infrastructure to health systems building more efficient workflows. At Civitas Networks for Health, we track the evolution of health information exchange, seeing which FHIR implementation strategies lead to successful data sharing between organizations.

Client Impact

This practical exposure shapes how we support your projects. When you’re planning an upgrade, our InterSystems consultants can suggest approaches that have proven successful in similar environments. We know which integration methods work best for different scenarios because we’ve seen the results across multiple implementations. Our conference connections also give us direct access to technical experts when unique challenges arise.

How Industry Event Networking Strengthens Your Healthcare IT Projects

Conference Insights

Healthcare IT conferences give us direct insights into emerging challenges. At HIMSS, we hear firsthand how health systems are managing the shift to value-based care through better data integration.

CIOs share their staffing challenges around specialized technologies, while technical leaders discuss their implementation roadblocks. The InterSystems Global Summit reveals how organizations are adapting to evolving market demands — from clinical data sharing to revenue cycle optimization.

We see which consulting approaches are working best for different types of projects and where organizations need the most support. These conversations uncover not just technical requirements, but the organizational context that affects project success.

Client Impact

Our conference networking translates into precise consultant matching for your projects. When you need specialized InterSystems expertise, we’ve already vetted talent through our industry connections.

How Conference Security Updates Protect Your Healthcare IT Infrastructure

Conference Insights

Healthcare IT conferences spotlight critical regulatory shifts and security priorities. At HLTH, innovators demonstrate new approaches to data privacy that extend beyond basic HIPAA requirements, like enhanced patient access controls and granular consent management.

We track integration trends through Civitas Networks for Health sessions, seeing firsthand how organizations are tackling challenges with legacy system modernization and API standardization. Technical leaders share their experiences with cloud security implementations, highlighting both successes and pitfalls.

Conference discussions reveal which interoperability standards are gaining real-world traction — from FHIR adoption patterns to emerging authentication frameworks — and where healthcare organizations face implementation hurdles. We also learn how different organizations balance security requirements with the need for efficient clinical workflows.

Client Impact

Our conference attendance means we update our implementation practices based on proven compliance strategies. When tackling complex integrations, our consultants apply methods that have worked for similar organizations. We help you avoid common security pitfalls because we’ve seen how other healthcare organizations have successfully addressed them. This knowledge reduces project risk and helps prevent costly rework.

How Healthcare IT Conference Partnerships Enhance Your Technology Solutions

Conference Insights

At healthcare IT conferences, we discover how organizations combine technologies in novel ways. HLTH showcases startups integrating InterSystems platforms with emerging AI tools for predictive analytics and workflow automation. At HIMSS, we see successful partnerships between EHR vendors and integration specialists, revealing new approaches to data harmonization and patient engagement.

Technical sessions demonstrate how healthcare organizations blend vendor solutions with custom development  from mobile health apps that connect seamlessly with legacy systems to cloud-based analytics platforms that enhance clinical decision support. We identify which partner combinations deliver the strongest results in different scenarios, whether it’s improving revenue cycle management, streamlining clinical workflows, or enhancing patient data access. These events also reveal emerging tools that could complement our clients’ existing InterSystems implementations.

Client Impact

These insights help us build more comprehensive solutions for your organization. When you need specialized capabilities, we can recommend proven partner technologies that integrate smoothly with your InterSystems platform. Our conference connections mean faster access to partner expertise during critical project phases. We’ve seen which combination of tools and approaches works best for specific challenges, helping you avoid integration headaches and accelerate your project timeline.
