If there’s one certainty heading into ViVE 2026, it’s this: you’re going to hear a lot of bold claims.
Every booth will promise:
- AI-powered capabilities
- FHIR-native architectures
- Seamless integrations
- Workflow-embedded experiences
But behind the buzz, healthcare organizations are wrestling with a more complicated reality.
AI doesn’t fail because the model was weak. Interoperability doesn’t stall because standards weren’t documented. Most projects derail because the organization wasn’t ready for what it bought.
- Clean data wasn’t available.
- The architecture couldn’t support real-time exchange.
- Clinicians couldn’t use the tool inside their workflow.
- Outcomes weren’t aligned.
- Governance gaps introduced risk.
So, here’s the real question ViVE attendees should be asking:
Is our organization ready for the solution we’re evaluating, not just excited about it?
This guide helps you answer that question with clarity and confidence. It offers a practical framework to diagnose readiness, identify risks, and walk the ViVE floor with sharper insight and purpose.
