Opening Fireside Chat: Unpacking the Federal Health IT Strategy 

The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology is charged with the adoption of health IT and development of nationwide, standards-based health information exchange to improve health care delivery. Hear from the head of the agency on his top priorities concerning a federal health IT strategy including information-blocking regulations, standardization of APIs, the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement and priorities for 2023.  

-

Panel: Modernizing the Electronic Health Record  

The vision of the federal EHR is to create a single, common health record to provide seamless care throughout a patient’s health journey. Successful implementation hinges on a mindset shift, and some argue that people are even more important than technology. Join the leaders behind the cross-government EHR rollout to learn how they are harmonizing IT system upgrades with change management principles as they modernize systems to ensure a seamless experience for both patients and providers. 

-

Panel: Improving Cross-Agency Interoperability 

Interoperability in health care enables timely and secure access, integration and use of data to optimize health outcomes for patients and inform data-driven decision making for providers. ONC launched the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (TEFCA) to establish a universal technical and legal baseline for information exchange and interoperability nationwide. Hear from federal leaders backing the framework on the progress they’ve made and their vision for TEFCA moving forward.

Coffee Break

Panel: Forecasting the Future of Health and Climate 

Climate change is introducing new threats to public health, some predictable and some not. Agencies are expanding their response capabilities for public health emergencies, and also working to understand how rising heat and other environmental factors will impact human health. Learn about how agencies are exploring new models and tools to track environment and health information and developing data-driven recommendations for building a more resilient health care system. 

-

Closing Fireside Chat: Rethinking Data Policy 

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) was developed to protect the privacy of patients and ensure patient data is appropriately secured; however, the policy has created challenges for government as agencies look to increase interoperability and data sharing to improve health outcomes. Learn how government is looking to revise data policy to make data interoperable, while maintaining privacy and keeping information secure.  

-

Flywheel Awards Presentation

We'll present the Flywheel Awards - to recognize leaders and their work in federal government.

The flywheel — a critical component in a machine to increase its momentum — is also a critical symbol representing our publication’s goal to keep federal IT decision-makers informed on technology's impact on government. This momentum is what fuels the constant need for transformers to innovate in federal technology and communicate those strategies across the industry.

Categories and Winners to be announced.
