HIMSS has published research resources designed to help health systems and vendors build organizational roadmaps for digital transformation, with particular emphasis on safe, scalable AI adoption. The work frames strategic priorities — governance, data interoperability, workforce development and clinical integration — so hospitals can align technology investments with patient outcomes and operational efficiency.
Targeted at CIOs, CMIOs and implementation teams, the guidance includes maturity models and implementation concepts to de-risk AI pilots, streamline EHR integration and establish measurement frameworks. By standardizing approaches and offering benchmarking tools, the HIMSS materials aim to accelerate responsible AI deployment in clinical workflows while addressing compliance, vendor selection and change management challenges.
