Mapping the Future for our Military and Government

For over a decade, the Department of Defense and the Department of Veterans Affairs have been pursuing initiatives to share data between their health information systems. Benchmarks have been made and many have been met along the way; however, the immediate future still poses many challenges. This summit is designed to briefly examine the “lessons learned” thus far, but with the objective of how to apply these to future initiatives, including President Obama’s recent call for a Virtual Lifetime Electronic Record (VLER). The discussions will also include the underlying theme of how the work with a VLER and VA/DoD efforts thus far will correlate with the administration’s recent request for nationwide EHR systems to be implemented.

IDGA’s Electronic Health Records Summit is scheduled for October 26 – 28, 2009 in consideration of the budgets and policy updates that will be available for FY’10.

By participating in this summit, you will have the unique opportunity to interact with a multitude of senior level professionals to discuss, brainstorm, and network in order to define methodologies and initiatives, while forging potential solutions and future partnerships. A series of distinguished speakers and panelists will present recent updates and challenges predicted for the future of their respective offices and departments.
