I’m here at the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society conference in Las Vegas. So far I’ve eaten a subpar casino restaurant won ton soup, seen the “Postcard from Earth” show at Sphere, and talked to a lot of people about AI and interoperability in health care (more on the latter in tomorrow’s Health Tech newsletter).
I’ve been trying to get a pulse on how people across health care are thinking about AI. What’s different between last year’s HIMSS and this year’s meeting? Last year, executives told me, people were waffling on AI and were worried about the technology’s propensity for hallucinations. This year, it is full speed ahead.
