What is Technology in Healthcare – The Health Leaders’ Summit 2025
Our Health Service has seen unprecedented demand and our growing and ageing population continues to exert pressure on our stretched resources. It is now more critical than ever to focus on safe and robust systems that will provide greater integration and enhanced patient care. This Summit will bring together healthcare IT experts and industry leaders who understand the real life challenges of electronic health systems in the context of ever evolving cybersecurity risks while pushing the boundaries of innovative patient care.
Topics & Themes for 2025:
​
Session 1: Digital infrastructure & Security – Future proofing the health sector
Cybersecurity is a strategic imperative for any organization in the healthcare sector — from healthcare providers to insurers to pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device companies. It involves a variety of measures to protect organizations from external and internal cyber attacks and ensure availability of medical services, proper operation of medical systems and equipment, preservation of confidentiality and integrity of patient data, and compliance with industry regulations.
Session 2: Emerging Healthcare Technologies
In recent years, the healthcare industry has undergone a significant transformation, largely driven by advancements in technology. Among these advancements, the convergence of Cloud Computing and Artificial Intelligence (AI) stands out as a game-changer, enabling more efficient, effective personalized care from diagnostics to patient care and beyond.
Session 3: EHR – Moving towards a Paperless Health System
EHRs are the next step in the continued progress of Irish healthcare that can strengthen the relationship between patients and clinicians. The data, and the timeliness and availability of it, will enable providers to make better decisions and provide better care.
An Electronic Health Record (EHR) is an electronic version of a patients medical history, that is maintained by the provider over time, and may include all of the key administrative clinical data relevant to that persons care under a particular provider, including demographics, progress notes, problems, medications, vital signs, past medical history, immunizations, laboratory data and radiology reports
