It’s almost here!

 As healthcare continues to evolve, the fusion of clinical expertise and technological innovation has become a foundational pillar of high-quality care.   

As healthcare systems become increasingly reliant on data, automation, and digital tools, nursing informatics professionals are uniquely positioned to lead the transformation of care delivery. The Bridging Care and Technology Conference brings together nurse informaticists, clinical leaders, educators, and innovators to explore the future of healthcare through the lens of technology, evidence, and compassion.

According to the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS), 95% of U.S. hospitals use electronic health records (EHRs), yet the full potential of these systems remains underutilized due to workflow inefficiencies and poor integration with clinical decision-making. At the same time, over 50% of nurses report burnout related to documentation burden and technology fatigue (American Nurses Foundation, 2023). Nursing informatics plays a pivotal role in addressing these challenges—streamlining data use, enhancing interoperability, and ensuring that digital tools support, rather than hinder, patient care.

This conference provides an essential platform for discussing how informatics can be used to reduce clinician burden, improve patient outcomes, and empower nurses as leaders in digital transformation. Through expert-led sessions, case studies, and panel discussions, participants will explore topics such as clinical decision support, AI integration, cybersecurity, telehealth expansion, and equitable access to digital health innovations.

As the fastest-growing specialty in nursing, informatics is reshaping how care is documented, delivered, and evaluated. Join us in building the bridge between care and technology.
