Beyond Tech: Advancing Health Equity Through Trust, Governance, & Community

Healthcare innovation is not just about technology. It is about the trust we build, the communities we serve, and the decisions that shape equitable access to care.

Join Colorado HIMSS for an evening of learning, conversation, and networking as healthcare leaders explore how trust, governance, and community engagement influence the future of healthcare transformation.

The evening will feature:

A keynote presentation by Dr. CT Lin, author of It's Not About the Tech: From Potholes to Piglets, Real-Life Lessons in Health IT

Kelly Erb Zager, Director of Policy & Advocacy at Colorado Rural Health Center will present on: The current state of rural healthcare in Colorado, access and workforce challenges, rural innovation and sustainability, including the Rural Connectivity Program and the Rural Health Transformation Program

Dr. Daniel Kortsch, Associate Chief, AI and Digital Health at Denver Health will present on: AI Governance for Colorado Healthcare: A practical, equity-centered playbook written for settings that do not have a dedicated AI staff.

Following the program, attendees will have the opportunity to connect with peers from across Colorado's healthcare and health IT community at a Happy Hour and participate in a book signing with Dr. Lin.

PARKING AND ENTRANCE INSTRUCTIONS: The event is being held in the middle building in the complex and there is parking available in the south lot in CONFERENCE ROOM A. Please walk in through the courtyard on the East side of the building as this will be the most direct route to the rooms we have reserved.
