Healthcare’s AI challenge is no longer whether to adopt it. It’s how to do it responsibly and at scale. Opening HIMSS APAC in Singapore, HIMSS President and CEO Hal Wolf put the patient at the center of that equation: without trust, there is no sustainable path to AI adoption. Across APAC, health systems are moving from pilots toward enterprise deployment, while grappling with governance, human oversight, clinical integration and measurable value. The playbook is still being written.

HIMSS emphasizes the importance of continuity of care in creating a connected healthcare experience that patients expect. The natural next question is: How do you know where you stand today? That's where the HIMSS Continuity of Care Maturity Model (CCMM) comes in. CCMM helps healthcare organisations evaluate the maturity of information sharing and care coordination across the patient journey, providing a clear roadmap for improvement. In the UK, the Government of Jersey used the model to identify strategic investment priorities across its health ecosystem, helping advance a more integrated and patient-centered approach. For healthcare leaders across Europe, measuring continuity of care is no longer a nice-to-have. It is a foundational step toward delivering the seamless, connected services that patients increasingly expect.
