Past event: Military Health Systems Information Management

Achieving Optimal Healthcare For the Warfighter Through Inter-agency Collaboration

Conference focus

We are proud to present the latest installment in our Military Health series, but this time we will be focusing specifically on ongoing efforts to improve the health management system across the DoD and VA.

There is a consensus across the DoD that the current medical information management system, AHLTA, is broken, and that a way forward must be found to ensure that military personnel receive the care owed to them for protecting our nation, both during combat and when they return home. 

This conference will feature over 15 key briefings presented in a highly interactive classroom style format that will lay the building blocks for an improved management system with greater transparency and the effective implementation of Electronic Health Records. Attendees will benefit from several deliveries of the key issues surrounding military health management including case study presentations, hands-on workshops and interactive panel discussions.

Attendees will also have the opportunity to network with industry leaders on ways to utilize comprehensive records to improve post-combat care, and develop more effective treatment programs for war-related illnesses. Attend this intensive three-day case study-based conference to begin finding an answer. 

Unlike the large trade shows and expositions, this conference will be driven by the content surrounding the health management system, and therefore, overall attendance is LIMITED and restricted to primarily military and government personnel. However, we do invite a very select number of solution providers and contractors to attend as we expect them to assist us in providing a truly 360 degree perspective in this vital area.
