In the past few years, HIMSS and the health information and technology community have highlighted the role of digital health as a bridge to patient wellness by focusing on maternal health, patient identification and safety, telehealth, broadband access, and public health data modernization. This year, we will continue to support those efforts as we focus upon:
- Chronic disease management
- Digital health literacy, inclusion, and access
- Maternal health
- Substance use and behavioral health
- Workforce inclusion
