The plane has left the Orlando airport, and I’m looking back at the past week at the 2017 annual meeting of HIMSS, the annual health IT conference that has been my pleasure and (foot) pain to attend for the past two+ decades (for real).
Walking the exhibition floor, I encountered some new flavors of imaging that went way beyond bits and bytes, data and technology.
These images spoke to me of health, vitality, and life. I’m sharing them with you here, with no intention of selling you company products or services but simply sharing some images that speak to these themes.
To me, this year’s HIMSS conference was more patient- and people-centered than at any other time in my attending the meeting. I’m gratified and glad to see these themes that I believe, uncynically, indicate a sea-change in healthcare morphing to, essentially, health.














Thanks to Jennifer Castenson for
Jane joined host Dr. Geeta "Dr. G" Nayyar and colleagues to brainstorm the value of vaccines for public and individual health in this challenging environment for health literacy, health politics, and health citizen grievance.
I'm grateful to be part of the Duke Corporate Education faculty, sharing perspectives on the future of health care with health and life science companies. Once again, I'll be brainstorming the future of health care with a cohort of executives working in a global pharmaceutical company.
