The 19th DoD/VA & Government HIT Summit examines the DoD, VA and Federal's efforts to provide Veterans a secure, interoperable and connected health IT environment. With the VA attempting to implement platforms to increase EHR Interoperability for Veterans, as well as proposing an additional 1.1 billion dollars for the EHR upgrade, the focus on ensuring this rollout is a successful one has never been higher. This event will detail how the DoD & VA are putting Veterans' & active duty's needs first by constantly innovating & delivering state of the art technologies.
