As is customary in January, it's time to take a look at the year ahead and offer some thoughts about what it might hold.

For healthcare, there's a lot to look forward to – with continued innovation on the information and technology fronts, challenges and opportunities around care delivery and reimbursement, ongoing cybersecurity risks and vulnerabilities, new promise for virtual care, yet-to-be-determined leadership changes for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and much more.

The editors of the HIMSS Media brands – Healthcare IT News, Healthcare Finance News and MobiHealthNews – recently joined up for a discussion about the next 12 months and what they might have in store.
