Maximizing Patient Experience through Technology, Clinical Care, and Administrative Efficiencies
The medical care requirements of our veterans have evolved due to the influx of military operations experienced by the United States throughout the past few decades. While once daunting, meeting these requirements are now feasible as a result of the many advancements across the Veterans Health Administration. However, facilitating this exceptional level of care is not without challenges.
VA Healthcare Summit 2015 will bring together strategic leaders and experts within the Veterans Affairs to evaluate and assess the benefits and challenges in which they face in the near future with augmenting and implementing new technology, clinical care practices, and administrative efficiencies.
By examining and identifying the areas in which improvement are greatly needed within the VHA, the VA can properly inform and educate the Vendors of the parameters and systems needed to correct these deficiencies. By doing this the VA will ensure they are moving in the right direction in order to resolve the overall problem of dealing with a countless influx of Veterans as well as the issue of sequestration.
We Will Examine Topics Including:
Future of Mental Healthcare within the VA
Health Informatics in the Future of VA Care
Technology upgrades that will impact the Patient Experience such as Telehealth, Vista Evolution and Health Informatics for Mental Health Care
Innovations in Women’s Specific Care
Treating the Growing Threat of Traumatic Brain Injury
Administrative Innovations through Enhancing Veterans Benefits Management System and Veterans Claims Intake Program
New VA Leadership Structure and how it will Transform the Future of the VHA
