From Bedside to the Build: A Nurse-Turned-IT Leader on What HIMSS Got Right and What Health Systems Still Need to Fix

Join us for a conversation with someone who has actually done the clinical work. Mario Magsaysay started as a bedside nurse in med-surg oncology before moving into clinical informatics, and now leads IS applications for Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center, where he bridges what clinicians need with what technology can deliver. Fresh from HIMSS 2026, Mario shares what stood out on the show floor, what hallway conversations revealed about where health systems are really struggling, and what he is actively building at his own organization right now. If you are navigating AI, EHR optimization, and operational complexity with limited resources, this one cuts through the noise.
