Why You Should Attend this Summit

According to the FY 22 bill, $2.6 billion is marked for continued implementation of the new digital medical records system, which is $10 million more than it received in FY 2021. The Spring 2022 DoD/VA & Government HIT Summit is designed as a non-partisan, educational & training “Town-Hall-style” Summit that offers a full-spectrum view towards the DoD, VA, and Federal’s efforts to provide Veterans/Active-Duty high-quality outcomes & healthcare solutions, through a single, unified, & interoperable health IT approach. This Summit will examine current initiatives across the VA to improve customer service delivered to the Veteran, from fielding innovative commercial technologies, to refining governance & management structures to continually improve the quality of care. This event will also offer attendees insight into current ways the DHA is providing timely, affordable, measurable improvements to medical readiness capabilities for the Joint Force. 

The forum is created to encourage a real, pragmatic level of discussion and debate amongst all in attendance. Attendees at this event will have the chance to hear senior leaders discuss key acquisition priorities being implemented to keep pace with the speed of innovation, advancing telehealth programs /virtual health capabilities, & also, efforts toward creating enterprise standards across the Military Health System (MHS) that will transform healthcare delivery & business operations. Finally, a panel at this event will feature key senior level VA executives, who will detail the VA strategic vision toward integrating a new EHR system that will enhance the provider experience & promote interoperability amongst the DoD, Commercial care providers, and across all VA facilities. 

DSI’s team specializes in the extensive research and development of our summit’s content and focus areas, and we will assemble the most respected minds in the community from Senior Healthcare leaders, the IT Community, key policy-makers, as well as solution providers from industry and academia. Our non-partisan approach allows us to reach across all involved organizations bring together a truly holistic group of decision makers and solution providers.
