a spotlight
on understanding the ever-evolving influence that technology, information and
data have in an increasingly growing connected ecosystem of health, and how
this is enabling greater collaboration between governments, healthcare
practitioners and institutions, and patients.
The four day event welcomed more than 1,200 healthcare
professionals – doctors, nurses, as well as health technology experts and
developers, and members of health institutions – from over 30 countries. The
regional conference hosted three pre-conference workshops focused on educating
and equipping members of the healthcare ecosystem with the knowledge to
navigate the challenges and opportunities of technology. In addition, there
were six main conference tracks on Population Health, Nursing, Data and
Technology, Collaborative Care, and Value-Based Care, as well as the Integrated
Health Information Systems Singapore track to showcase the best in Singapore
healthcare. To celebrate first-hand the best in-class implementation and
utilization of information technology applications in Singapore, HIMSS Asia

Speaking at the Opening Ceremony, H. Stephen Lieber,
CAE, President & CEO Emeritus of HIMSS shared, “Doctors today can no longer
work alone and expect the same quality of care without input and leadership
from the rest of the care team. The care team in turn cannot function
seamlessly without technology enablement: predictive analytics, artificial
intelligence, electronic medical records, internet of things, mobile
technology, and so on. This combination of great teamwork and great use of
technology is the formula to value-based, patient-centered, team-based care. It
is with this in mind that the HIMSS team has put together this conference to
accelerate our progress in this direction.”

“HIMSS continues to support the transformation of
health through the use of information and technology. This is at the heart of
everything we do”, added Harold ‘Hal’ Wolf III, President and CEO of HIMSS. “It
was wonderful to see so many attendees participate in various dialogues and
learnings over the course of the event. This year there was a
strong emphasis among a growing coalition of peers to find
new capabilities to drive better care through integrating and implementing a
team-based approach which includes the use of the HIMSS maturity models for
EMRs, Analytics and Innovation Pathways.”

MEMORABLE MOMENTS OF HIMSS ASIAPAC17
Highlighting the importance of information technology
at the HIMSS AsiaPac 2017 conference, Mr. Chee Hong Tat, Senior Minister of
State, Ministry of Communications & Information and Ministry of Health
said, “I am glad that the
theme of this conference is “Unifying Patients and Providers” – bringing
different stakeholders together through smart use and appropriate use of
technology, to be able to deliver better care for our patients. As we move forward in
our care transformation efforts and into more team-based care, our healthcare
professionals could keep in mind the 3 ‘C’s of Collaboration, Connection, and
Co-creation. Technology is an important enabler, as it opens up new ideas, new
possibilities and allow us to translate these new ideas into reality”.
