Healthcare technology evolves in real time at HIMSS Global Health Conference & Exhibition—and our Henry Elliott team will be there as 30,000 IT professionals converge on the Venetian Convention Center in Las Vegas this March 3-6. (Please come visit us at booth #632 on the main aisle near InterSystems)
Year after year, we’ve joined healthcare IT leaders at HIMSS conferences to deepen our understanding of industry trends and strengthen connections that help us match specialized talent with client needs. There’s once again so much to look forward to. Consider the following:
Where Technology Meets Real-World Healthcare Challenges
HIMSS25 sessions align directly with the technical challenges our clients face. Healthcare organizations seek guidance on integrating AI capabilities while maintaining reliable system performance. Data security teams want to apply emerging cybersecurity frameworks without disrupting clinical workflows. Development teams look for proven approaches to modernize legacy systems and improve interoperability.
Key Speakers Address Industry Priorities
These real-world concerns shape the conference agenda and deliver practical strategies that technical teams (and others) can apply to their current projects.
As one of four keynote speakers, Dr. Seung-woo Park, President of Samsung Medical Center, will share his experience integrating new EMR capabilities with existing systems—a journey many of our InterSystems clients navigate. Former Army General Paul M. Nakasone brings deep cybersecurity insights and “battle-tested lessons on transformational leadership” at a time when healthcare organizations need qualified security talent more than ever.
And we can’t wait for this year’s conference highlight and closing keynote conversation with Olympic champion Simone Biles, who will discuss her perspective on mental health awareness and personal wellbeing. Her insights on managing stress and maintaining peak performance resonate deeply in the healthcare technology field, where technical professionals often work under significant pressure to maintain critical systems.
Learning from Industry Leaders
The conference also brings together healthcare technology’s most influential providers—Epic, InterSystems, Oracle Health, Microsoft, and GE Healthcare, among others. Technical experts will share practical experiences with healthcare system integration and data management, showing what works in real-world implementations. These conversations reveal proven strategies for implementing and maintaining complex healthcare IT infrastructure.
Our team particularly looks forward to sessions on InterSystems technology implementation strategies, where healthcare organizations share their experiences with HealthShare, Ensemble, and IRIS Data Platform integration. These practical examples show us what works in production environments, helping us guide our clients and consultants toward successful outcomes.
Gathering Hallway Insights
While formal sessions provide structured learning, we find equal value in the informal conversations throughout HIMSS25. Hallway discussions with project managers reveal common staffing challenges around specialized technologies. Technical architects share implementation approaches that save time and reduce risk. These insights shape how we prepare consultants to support similar projects.
The exhibition floor serves as a laboratory for understanding emerging technologies. We’ll examine new tools that complement existing systems, evaluate potential integration challenges, and identify opportunities to enhance current implementations. This hands-on experience helps us anticipate our clients’ future needs and prepare qualified professionals to meet them.

Bringing Knowledge Back to Client Projects
The technical insights gained at HIMSS25 directly influence our consultant selection and project support strategies. When healthcare organizations need specialized InterSystems talent, we match them with professionals who understand both current capabilities and emerging trends. Our conversations with technology partners and industry peers help us anticipate integration challenges before they affect project timelines.
We regularly hear from clients about the complexity of maintaining legacy systems while implementing new technologies. HIMSS25 sessions address this balance, showing how organizations successfully modernize their infrastructure without disrupting critical operations. These examples guide our approach to staffing similar projects with experienced professionals who understand both established and emerging healthcare IT systems.
Advancing Healthcare IT Together
Healthcare organizations face increasing pressure to enhance patient care through technology while maintaining security and system reliability. The mix of technical sessions and industry networking at HIMSS25 gives us fresh perspectives on these challenges.
Real-World Implementation Challenges
- Integrating analytics while maintaining InterSystems platform performance
- Enhancing Epic system interoperability alongside security upgrades
- Bridging legacy platforms with new healthcare solutions
- Protecting sensitive data while enabling efficient provider access
We see these complexities play out across healthcare systems. Development teams need professionals who understand both established systems and emerging technologies. The conference’s emphasis on real-world implementation stories shows how organizations successfully navigate these technical transitions, particularly with InterSystems technologies, Epic integration, and VA system modernization.
Will We See You at HIMSS?
We invite you to connect with our team during HIMSS25 to discuss your organization’s technical staffing requirements, whether you’re planning an InterSystems implementation, upgrading existing systems, or seeking specialized healthcare IT talent. Our experience matching qualified professionals with complex technical projects helps organizations maintain momentum during critical initiatives. We look forward to meeting you in person!
