Healthcare Workforce Without Walls
Every January, I feel a pull to pause not just to look ahead, but to reflect on how far we have come. Over the past few years, healthcare professionals have navigated extraordinary change, from rapid digital transformation to new models of care delivery that extend far beyond hospital walls. This article grew out of conversations, research, and observations across healthcare, robotics, mobility, and smart city systems and a growing realization that our definitions of “healthcare work” are quietly being rewritten. My hope is that this article offers you not predictions, but orientation: a way to think differently about careers, skills, and professional growth in a healthcare ecosystem that is increasingly connected and mobile.

Diseases tend to ignore the boundaries of care sectors – the quest for integrated care
The HIMSS D-A-CH Community Member Meeting in Berlin on February 12, 2026, aims to examine and discuss what it takes to implement integrated care networks on a broader scale. To accomplish this, we will have a look at networks that have already been established and the associated key learnings from these best practices. We will also identify digital tools and platforms that can be used to coordinate networks, their processes, ways-of-working, and their ability to exchange patient data in a safe and secure way. Finally, we aim to assemble experts and decision makers from different healthcare stakeholders to discuss and share with us their insights on how things can be advanced to finally bring upon the notion of integrated care.
