Esri at HIMSS 2023: Building a Stronger Healthcare System Through Geospatial Technology

The healthcare industry has always been at the forefront of innovation, with healthcare professionals leveraging the latest tools and technologies to provide better patient care. This year’s Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) Global Conference is no different, with industry leaders and technology providers showcasing their latest solutions and approaches that are transforming the healthcare landscape.

Esri is once again participating in the HIMSS conference, highlighting its geospatial technology solutions that are helping healthcare organizations augment their evidence-based decision-making in ways that build stronger communities and provide better patient care. Since 1969, Esri has been in the business of mapping. As the global market leader in geographic information system (GIS) software and location intelligence, we have supported customers with geographic science and geospatial analytics – what we call The Science of Where. We take a geographic approach to problem-solving, brought to life by modern GIS technology (ArcGIS). We are committed to using science and technology to build a healthy and sustainable world.

Join our session

One of the key highlights of Esri’s participation at the HIMSS 2023 Conference is our session, “How Well Do You Really Know the Communities You Serve?” being held on Thursday, April 20th at 11:30 AM in South Building, Level 4, S403. In this session, we’ll introduce the value of spatial thinking and share five new datasets that will offer a totally different way of understanding your community. In a facilitated discussion, the audience will help guide priorities in a growth scenario for a health system. This session may revolutionize the way you approach your data-informed decision-making.
