Taguig City, Philippines — On October 20 and 21, 2025, HIMSCON gathered leaders at Shangri-La The Fort to chart growth into new markets with stronger operations. Organized by the Healthcare Information Management Association of the Philippines (HIMAP), the two-day conference filled the 300-seat hall on both days under the theme Sustaining Growth Beyond Disruptions.
Day 1 opened with executive forums on creating higher value in the next cycle. An artificial intelligence segment paired governance with field examples, improving accuracy and turnaround while protecting privacy. Cybersecurity sessions turned zero trust and human risk into daily routines and showed how to manage a wider perimeter.
The day also featured a talent panel that tackled the talent crunch head on. Leaders described how government-backed near-hire training, reskilling, upskilling, and micro-credentialing move people swiftly into higher-value roles. Moderators pressed for quick wins, such as job-to-skills maps, application sprints, and weekly checks on first-pass yield and clean claim rate.
“HIMSCON is more than a conference. It is an invitation to work together. The Philippines advances when government, academe, and industry share one calendar,” said Vincent Remo, HIMAP President.
On Day 2, the focus shifted to demand signals and routes to new work. Policy and geopolitics briefings framed implications for healthcare operations, followed by a resilience segment on continuity during regional shocks. A market track looked beyond North America to early beachheads in Europe, Australia, and the Middle East, with guidance on compliance and contracting.
Across both days, the push was for usable outcomes. At the closing panel, leaders mapped next steps on talent, artificial intelligence, and security. Delegates left with roles tied to quality checks, first pass yield and denial rates, audit-ready privacy routines, and market probes to test segments before scaling, with follow-through on shared calendars.
