IDGA's 20th Annual Veterans Healthcare Summit

Providing exceptional, accessible, and modern healthcare to Veterans is a critical mission. Organizations like Department of Veterans Affairs, the Defense Health Agency and other federal organizations continue to take steps to evolve how care is delivered, adapting to changing Veteran needs while embracing innovation at scale. Now in its 20th year, the Veterans Healthcare Summit stands as the premier industry gathering in support of the mission of Veteran healthcare optimization. Bringing together leaders from government, military, healthcare providers, industry, academia, and the non-profit community, the summit serves as a trusted platform for collaboration, knowledge exchange, and strategic alignment. Across the United States Government, no priority is more imperative than providing the highest-quality care to our nation's Veterans. As the largest integrated health care network in the United States, this falls under the remit of the US Department of Veterans Affairs. As veterans' needs continue to change, the VA has shifted the way that it provides care and has become a leader in delivering digital and mobile technologies like telehealth and virtual care. The integration of a brand-new electronic health records system is changing the way that clinicians provide care at VA medical centers across the nation. New drugs, medical devices and precision medicine are opening new opportunities in areas like oncology, mental health, prosthetics and many others. Innovative technologies like AI/ML are optimizing supply chain management, logistics, informatics and other IT processes. Acts of Congress have opened up new options for private care to veterans, and the VA has responded through continuing to build its focus on smooth and optimal patient experience processes. This event will provide leaders across the VA Healthcare ecosystem the chance to learn, share, and connect with our nation's veterans to improve health outcomes, care access, and delivery. Continuing education credit is available for ACCME, ANCC, APA, & ASWB.
