Healthcare Policy and Technology: Key Discussions at HIMSS 2025

As we approach HIMSS 2025, the intersection of healthcare policy and technology has never been more critical. The HIMSS Global Health Conference & Exhibition continues to serve as the premier forum where policymakers, healthcare leaders, and technology innovators converge to shape the future of healthcare delivery and regulation.

Policy Evolution in the Digital Health Era

The rapid acceleration of digital health adoption has created an urgent need for policy frameworks that can keep pace with technological innovation while ensuring patient safety and data security. HIMSS 2025 addresses this challenge head-on through specialized policy tracks and collaborative sessions designed specifically for government officials and regulatory bodies.

Key policy discussions at this year’s conference will focus on several pressing issues:

Interoperability and Data Exchange Standards

The implementation of the 21st Century Cures Act final rules continues to evolve, and HIMSS25 provides a crucial platform for policymakers to engage with healthcare organizations about real-world implementation challenges and successes. Special sessions will address information blocking provisions and their impact on health information exchange.

Cybersecurity Policy Framework

With healthcare organizations facing increasingly sophisticated cyber threats, HIMSS 2025 will facilitate critical discussions between government cybersecurity experts and healthcare IT leaders. The conference will examine emerging federal guidelines and explore how organizations can align their security protocols with national standards with features like the Cybersecurity Command Center.

Artificial Intelligence Regulation

As AI applications in healthcare multiply, regulatory frameworks must evolve. HIMSS 2025 brings together FDA officials, policy experts, and AI innovators to discuss the balance between innovation and safety in AI deployment across healthcare settings.

Collaborative Policy Development

HIMSS 2025 stands out for its unique ability to facilitate direct dialogue between government officials and healthcare stakeholders.
