Past event: 4th Electronic Health Records Summit

With the impact of Information Technology (IT) transforming the way business and communication is conducted, it comes as no surprise that healthcare would follow suit. Continued advances in technology coupled with the necessity for streamlined and accurate health-data-transfer has brought the topic of efficient 4th Electronic Health Records (EHR) to the forefront. The ability to go “Paperless” has been achieved; however the focus is now the need for optimized interoperability among the Armed Services and Government Agencies. Accurate medical data will now follow our military personnel from the recruitment process through retirement.

By participating in this Summit, you will have the exceptional opportunity to take part in continued discussions where debate, dialogue, and networking are encouraged with the hopes of achieving Health Information Technology (HIT) synergy. By the end of the EHR summit delegates should be able to identify the future of EHR, the modernization of DoD and VA systems, and the progress towards interoperability. While initial costs of EHR implementation are large, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act provided an injection of $36 billion dollars persuading the majority of health companies, providers and vendors to make the switch from outdated health record methods.

IDGA’s 4th Electronic Health Records Summit will bring together key actors and decision makers involved in the military and government healthcare IT sector(s). The summit is designed as a forum in which decision makers and end users can come together in order to maximize the collective knowledge within the government and health IT stratum. Delegates will be given the opportunity to debate the issues at hand, learn from their peers, and forge solutions for their respective challenges.


Specific Topics of Discussion Include:

  • The Progression of VA / DoD Interoperability
  • Challenges of EHR Implementation
