8:40 Continuum Of Care Keynote Panel: Military Healthcare From The War Zone To Reintegration

Providing optimal healthcare throughout the continuum requires the dedication and coordination of many commands, directorates, military treatment facilities and clinics. This vital keynote panel will address the continuum of care, with each panelist discussing how their piece fits into the care chain and impacts modern prevention based healthcare, expeditionary healthcare capabilities, wartime readiness and combat support for medical personnel, operational elements in the delivery of care, the identification of problems and healthcare needs of wounded warriors, the capture, management and sharing of healthcare data for Service members and their families, as well as the integration and funding of medical elements. This definitive panel will provide invaluable perspective on the continuum of military healthcare.
