Session 1: Empowering the EHR Workforce: Leading Change in Healthcare IT

Panelists:

  • Steven Burger
  • Michael Collins
  • Marie Difrancesco
  • Vishnu Saxena

Evolution in healthcare is being driven by the rapid transformation of Information Technology (IT), which now plays a pivotal role in modern healthcare systems. This session is designed to enhance understanding of the ongoing IT evolution—including the adoption and optimization of technologies such as electronic health records (EHRs), telemedicine, and data analytics—and its impact on improving patient care and outcomes.

Panelists will explore the key drivers of this transformation, including the demand for data-driven decision-making, and the shift toward patient-centered care. The discussion will also cover the significant operational and clinical impacts of IT integration, while acknowledging the challenges and barriers healthcare organizations face during implementation.

With a focus on leadership and workforce development, the session will offer insight into empowering EHR and IT professionals to lead through change, close skill gaps, and foster innovation across the care continuum. Attendees will walk away with actionable strategies to guide their organizations through successful IT transformation and build agile, future-ready teams that can adapt to evolving healthcare demands.

This session is ideal for healthcare leaders, IT professionals, and clinicians looking to align people, process, and technology to deliver better, more sustainable outcomes.
