Why You Should Attend this Summit

The Department of Veterans Affairs will see nearly a 12 percent increase in total funding in FY 2021 that will address many big department projects such as the electronic medical records overhaul. The 20th DoD/VA & Government HIT Summit was designed as a "Town Hall" full spectrum view towards the DoD, VA, and Federal's efforts to provide Veterans a secure, interoperable and connected health IT ecosystem. This Summit will examine current initiatives being implemented across the DoD & VA to focus on the needs of Veterans' & active duty. This includes the integration of affordable, high-quality health services as well as innovative technologies that will ultimately, enhance patient care & enable a medically ready Joint Force.   

The forum is created to encourage a real, pragmatic level of discussion and debate amongst all in attendance. Senior Leaders at this event will discuss key acquisition priorities, effective data sharing strategies, & ways to integrate more efficient business/clinical processes across the VA. Speakers from across the Federal government will also delve into the innovative measures being taken to further authenticate users & improve the security of IT systems for Veterans now & in the future. Members of Industry & Government will also be given the chance at this event to hear how the new military EHR system has improved the overall decision making of Combatant Commanders & helped to empower Service members throughout the MHS.  

Our 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.
