Keynote: Consolidating Military and Veterans Health Care

Bill Tinston tells us about advances in data analytics and electronic health records modernization

The Defense Health Agency and Department of Veterans Affairs are working to create a continuity of health care from the moment an American enlists in the armed forces to their golden years as a retired service member. Bill Tinston, director of the Federal Electronic Health Record Modernization Program Office, is the office's first official director, a position in which he intends to operationalize the FEHRM as it delivers health IT solutions for the single, common federal electronic health record.
