OPEN MINDS Announces Two Executive Seminars On EHR Selection & Digital Strategy At The 2026 Technology & Analytics Institute
Gettysburg, Pa. (July 18, 2026) — As technology becomes increasingly central to organizational performance, many health and human service executives are reevaluating two critical investments: whether their electronic health record still supports future growth and whether their organization has a technology strategy capable of delivering it. The 2026 OPEN MINDS Technology & Analytics Institute kicks off on exactly these issues.
To help executives address these challenges, two concurrent executive seminars will focus on EHR selection and optimization and building a digital-first organizational strategy. Both half-day seminars will be held October 27, 2026, at the Loews Philadelphia Hotel and are included with Institute registration.
Finding An EHR For Your Future: The 2026 OPEN MINDS Best Practices Seminar On EHR Selection, Implementation & Optimization, sponsored by Core Solutions and led by Joseph P. Naughton-Travers, EdM, Senior Associate at OPEN MINDS, will provide executives with a practical framework for evaluating organizational needs, selecting the right technology partner, developing realistic implementation budgets, and negotiating contracts that support long-term performance.
Running concurrently, Creating A Winning Tech Strategy: The 2026 OPEN MINDS Seminar On Building A Digital Transformation Roadmap, sponsored by Core Solutions and led by Sharon Hicks, MSW, MBA, Senior Associate at OPEN MINDS, will help executive teams build a digital-first strategy that integrates technology across clinical, operational, and financial functions while developing the leadership capabilities needed to sustain organization-wide transformation.
“Every organization we work with is investing in technology; far fewer are getting the performance that investment should buy. The right electronic health record and a clear digital strategy are how that gap closes. These seminars give executive teams a working model for both decisions. Technology should enable strategy, not constrain it,” said Monica E. Oss, Chief Executive Officer of OPEN MINDS.
Because the seminars run concurrently, organizations are encouraged to attend with multiple members of their executive team so they can benefit from both sessions.

Registration is now open for the Institute, taking place October 27 to 29, 2026, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Attendance is included for OPEN MINDS Circle Market Intelligence Service subscribers; non-members can register at openminds.com/register-now-tai2.
