HIMSS26: Optimize Hybrid Infrastructure To Accelerate Healthcare Innovation
Artificial intelligence has the potential to improve clinician workflows, patient experiences and even patient outcomes, but many AI initiatives aren’t possible without the infrastructure to support them.
A hybrid infrastructure, in particular, plays an important role in AI success. On-prem data centers provide lower latency for high-volume inferencing, while the cloud offers on-demand computing power.
At HIMSS26 in Las Vegas, HealthTech connected with health IT leaders to discuss how a hybrid infrastructure supports healthcare’s AI initiatives, how organizations can optimize their infrastructure and how to protect patient data across the environment.
DISCOVER: These are the three hybrid infrastructure trends to watch in 2026.

Video Highlights
- The data center is becoming an increasingly important part of healthcare organizations’ AI infrastructure.
- As healthcare organizations optimize their hybrid infrastructure and determine which workloads to run in the cloud or on-prem, they should prioritize the setup with the lowest risk and best patient care outcome.
- Resources such as the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s Cybersecurity Framework and solutions such as an isolated recovery environment can help organizations better protect patient data across their infrastructure.
