The Future of Information Technology in Military Health

The Military Health Systems is the largest and most complex set of medical treatment facilities in the world. It also has a robust set of beneficiaries that represents a complex set of challenges to Information Technology leadership. As part of their readiness mission they must also provide healthcare to some of the most remote areas on the planet. These challenges represent care in the air, sea and land, where connectivity in limited or non-existent.
This program has been designed for the panel to address many of the challenges facing their organizations and how they plan to utilize information technology to accomplish this tremendous task. We will also have a “Make a Wish” segment that will be dedicated to giving the panel speakers an opportunity to openly ask industry for help with their most difficult challenges. This segment will allow the speakers to make request from industry to collaborate to help better define results oriented solutions for the Military Health System.
This Panel will address:
-
Future of iEHR

Interoperability with the commercial and public healthcare community
