As many of you reading this are likely aware, HIMSS25 is just around the corner. This year, Altera experts are excited to join the event and participate in another opportunity to communicate and share knowledge with the greater healthcare community. I think this will be a fantastic opportunity to connect with the Altera team, and we encourage all attendees to stop by our booth—2532. This is where attendees can discover our theater demonstrations, engage in solution demos and even enjoy a beverage at our “Viva Altera” happy hour, happening on March 4, from 4:30–5:30 p.m. Our experts are eager to have conversations about our solutions and how they can help overcome industry challenges, and we’ll also unveil our new vision for the future of healthcare. Here’s a deeper dive into what we’re excited to discuss at HIMSS25.

Solutions to empower clinicians (and patients)

Each of our EHR teams—Sunrise™, Paragon® Denali and TouchWorks® EHR—worked diligently to introduce new features and functionalities in 2025. Patient portals, as well as ambient listening and AI integration, are on the horizon, so be sure to visit booth 2532 so we can showcase to you what’s in store. Our entire solutions team is excited to discuss with attendees how to best deliver healthcare technology, as we believe we have the right tools to bring next-level healthcare in reach.

Engaging theater presentations to spark conversation

Navigating the complexities of healthcare technology—especially in the ever-changing world of new innovations and ideas—is challenging to do without refreshed perspectives. Altera experts are prepared to discuss these challenges and are excited to share their ideas on the road ahead. Join us in booth 2532 as Ben Scharfe, Executive Vice President, AI Initiatives, presents the Altera vision for the future of healthcare in Shared goals and measured results: Why Altera is doubling down on client outcomes, on Tuesday, March 4 from 12–12:20 p.m. Additionally, Ben will present how Altera is leveraging AI to tackle some of healthcare’s most pressing challenges in “Cool, but how will it actually work?”: AI complexities in a practical healthcare landscape, on Wednesday, March 5 from 12–12:20 p.m. We also are thrilled to hear Kevin Ritter, Executive Vice President, CareInMotion, present Altera’s interoperability priorities on Tuesday, March 4 from 1:30–1:40 p.m. in his session, CareInTelligence: Unlocking your data through advanced analytics. These presentations are at the heart of our outlook at Altera, and we’re thrilled to share them with HIMSS attendees as a way to spark conversation and further discussion.

Furthermore, Kevin Ritter and other Altera interoperability experts will join the Interop and Smart Experience pavilion! While they will be there discussing trends and challenges throughout HIMSS, be sure to also join Kevin’s speaking session, “Make your data work harder: How actionable insights enable better outcomes for your organization”, on March 4, from 10:30–10:50 a.m. at C3318-14.

Industry opportunities for greater success

We’re thrilled to engage with attendees on their perspectives within the healthcare industry today. As interoperability, Artificial Intelligence, clinician burnout and financial stability are top-of-mind for industry leaders, our teams are prepared to engage in these topics with attendees to further discussions on what’s needed, and put simply, how we can best help. Of course, there will be a litany of healthcare discussions happening at HIMSS, and we encourage attendees to stop by the Altera booth to further important industry conversations. Our teams are prepared to discuss the challenges and needs of hospitals and health systems and are excited to demonstrate how Altera solutions can help.

Hope to see you in Las Vegas

We’re looking forward to HIMSS25 for the opportunity to connect with our clients and the industry at large, as these conversations bring us closer to enabling care communities to deliver the best possible results for their patients. Our sights are set on the future of healthcare, and we encourage attendees to visit booth 2532 to learn more about how Altera is ready for the journey ahead.
