Why You Should Attend this Summit

The 25th DoD/VA and Government Health IT Summit will bring together senior healthcare leaders to discuss their initiatives, strategies, and plans for driving health IT innovations across the VA, DHA, military services, and other federal government partners and agencies to improve the quality, efficiency, and safety of healthcare delivery. Through interactive discussion and dialogue, attendees at this year’s event will examine the successes and challenges across the VA and DHA in operationalizing a modernized electronic health record system as well as opportunities for integrating a unified, interoperable, common federal EHR to enable patient centered care.  

This year’s Summit will feature a series of fireside chats and sessions highlighting the ways the DHA and VA are driving digital transformations and improving cyber security across their IT systems, what strategies and priorities VA and DHA acquisition leaders have for acquiring new technologies and solutions, and much more. Join us at this year’s DoD/VA & Government Health IT Summit to network with senior leaders and contribute to the discussion focused on advancing the delivery of healthcare for military members, Veterans, and their families.  

DSI’s team specializes in the extensive research and development of our Summits' content and focus areas, and we will assemble the most respected minds in health care information technology and innovation across federal government, military, academia, and industry. Our non-partisan approach allows us to reach across all services and organizations to bring together a truly holistic group of decision makers and solution providers.
