H3IT 2026 — Home Healthcare, Hospice, and Information Technology Conference

Evidence-Based Adoption of Technology for Care at Home

Washington, D.C.
October 27, 2026

About the Conference

H3IT: Home Healthcare, Hospice, and Information Technology Conference is for all stakeholders interested in successfully leveraging technology, from decision-support tools to telehealth to artificial intelligence (AI), in providing care at home. Since 2014, H3IT has provided an authoritative forum where evidence-based findings, information, and tools are communicated to achieve reduced costs, better care, and better outcomes. H3IT's interdisciplinary and applied elements make the conference relevant to home health providers, IT vendors, and government agencies. H3IT has been supported by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under an R13 Award, which allows us to offer student volunteer opportunities for graduate and professional students interested in engaging with leaders in home-based care, informatics, and health technology.

Morning Keynote Announcement

We are pleased to announce Dr. Madeline R. Sterling as the Morning Research Keynote speaker for the upcoming H3IT conference.

"From Data to Action: Understanding and Improving Information Transfer from Hospital to Home Health—and Back to Primary Care."

Dr. Sterling is an Associate Professor of Medicine at Weill Cornell Medicine and Director of the Initiative on Home Care Work at Cornell University. She is a nationally recognized leader in health services research focused on home healthcare, care delivery models, and the intersection of workforce, technology, and patient outcomes. Her work brings a critical, real‑world lens to how research can inform policy and practice across home health and hospice settings.

In her keynote, Dr. Sterling will share research-driven insights relevant to the full spectrum of H3IT stakeholders—researchers, providers, payers, technology partners, and policymakers—highlighting emerging challenges and opportunities in home-based care.
