HIMSS 2019 is underway in Orlando, Florida, bringing together healthcare professionals from across the world.

Social media is lighting up with some of the show’s best displays and we wanted to highlight the best of the best!

If you’re at the show, make sure to read up on what you must check out this week in our event preview and interview with HIMSS Senior Director of Strategic Communications Karen Groppe!

The engagement started right away. It may not be breaking any barriers in the healthcare world but the opening reception area certainly got people excited:

Ohio State–Microsoft partnership, reported at $250M, targets 70–80% shift to Azure

Ohio State–Microsoft partnership, reported at $250M, targets 70–80% shift to Azure

Ohio State University and Microsoft’s five-year partnership, reported by outlets at $250 million, is largely infrastructure: targeting a shift of roughly 70% to 80% of storage and computing to Azure and building a shared data layer. Note-drafting AI already runs. Smart-room features for patients come later and depend on that foundation.

  • 01The only part of the Ohio State and Microsoft deal with published results is AI note drafting, which saved up to four minutes per visit in Wexner's 2024 pilot.
  • 02Smart-room features such as automatic lighting and infection-risk alerts depend on a unified database that has finished only its high-level design. The first returns are more likely to show up in operating room and staffing forecasts.
  • 03Health systems weighing a similar platform deal should ask how the headline value breaks down, which workloads move first and whether the cloud copy of the EHR is a backup or the primary record.

Just 16% of AI-using healthcare organizations fully document model checks after launch, CHIME finds

Just 16% of AI-using healthcare organizations fully document model checks after launch, CHIME finds

CHIME's 2026 Digital Health Most Wired report finds 93.2% of surveyed healthcare organizations use AI. Full generative AI adoption nearly doubled in a year, to 54.8%. Oversight trails: only 16.4% of AI users fully document model monitoring after deployment, making governance the next job for hospital IT leaders.

  • 01Generative AI full adoption went from 31.0% to 54.8% of surveyed healthcare organizations in one year, while only 16.4% of AI users have fully documented processes for monitoring models after launch.
  • 02Organizations that test failover are about twice as likely to restore all critical systems within four hours (45.7% vs. 23.5%), suggesting regular drills may help close the gap.
  • 03Smaller organizations trail on prior authorization automation, 28.9% against 49.4% overall, and CMS payer API requirements take effect in January 2027.

Why MVP wants to push fresher care-gap data into EMRs

Why MVP wants to push fresher care-gap data into EMRs

MVP Health Care, a nonprofit insurer in New York and Vermont, built Arcadia-based provider dashboards that combine ADT alerts, care gaps, utilization and pharmacy data. Timing drives the design. Its next step, delivering care gaps inside provider EMRs, should move fastest with practices that already exchange data through Arcadia.

  • 01For a quality measure on a seven-day clock, a payer report that runs a few months behind arrives after the deadline it was meant to help with.
  • 02For MVP, the easiest EMR connections are with practices already exchanging data through Arcadia—such as Medicare ACOs using the platform or groups connected through other payers. Practices that are new to Arcadia or to payer data-sharing typically need more time and comfort with what they will send to MVP and what MVP will write back into their EMR.
  • 03A useful test for any payer’s provider analytics: does a service completed last week drop off the care-gap list, or does the practice still call the patient again?
