Military, VA and Federal Healthcare Leaders to Convene at DSI’s Electronic Health Records and HIE Summit. The Summit benefits the 501c3 nonprofit Wounded Warrior Project.
Leaders from the Military, VA, Federal Healthcare Agencies and Industry will convene October 11 - 13, 2011 in Alexandria, VA to discuss and debate the current roadmap for iEHRs and HIE. The educational and training Summit, hosted by Defense Strategies Institute and benefiting the Wounded Warrior Project, is designed as a full spectrum viewpoint, and actionable takeaways and "next-steps" will drive the discussions.
Washington, DC, June 30, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Recent advancements towards the interoperability of EHRs between the DoD and VA has created the need to bring together the leaders in healthcare from the Military, VA, Federal Healthcare Agencies, and Industry in order to discuss and debate the next-steps for today, tomorrow, and the future. “In a field such as healthcare, where there are multiple agents acting in tandem, it is extremely important that all involved are working towards a cohesive and holistic approach. While the field has seen an immense amount of ebbing and flowing, we believe that truly great advancements are on the horizon….and this is why our Senior Partners decided to lend our expertise towards creating a forum that can bring together stakeholders from across the continuum of care,” stated Lisa Madison, Director of Communications for Defense Strategies Institute.
“Our educational and training Summits offer a non-partisan, informal forum where we encourage real, actionable, discussion and debate. This is a chance for the experts in the field to really roll their sleeves up and talk about their unique and shared perspectives with their respective colleagues,” Ms. Madison further stated.
The Institute decided to add a third day to the Summit to focus on the patient centered medical home construct , believing this is truly an exemplary model for the comprehensive, coordinated, and holistic approach towards healthcare.
The Summit is broken down into 5 focus areas that generally follow the current parameters of the Secretaries’ (DoD & VA) “way forward” and include:
1. DoD & VA: Common Information Interoperability Framework
- from cloud computing to common data centers
2. Common Service Broker: ESB and Infrastructure Services
- a functional architectural approach to iEHRs, including SOAs
3. DoD & VA Mission Specific Applications and Joint Services for the
End User
- from agency unique requirements to shared services
4. Federal HIE: Designing and Deploying Federated-National HIEs
- from architecture to consumer privacy and information security in
EHR interoperability
5. Patient Centered Medical Home
- including technologies to make it successful
