"In October 2009, IDGA convened its first Electronic Health Records Summit in the Washington, DC area. Acting as a neutral forum we brought together key stakeholders, including those within the DoD, VA, and HHS to discuss and debate a series of topics surrounding EHRs. We looked at broad issues ranging from the current status of VA/DoD interoperability, open source systems, AHLTA and the NHIN, to the future of a VLER. Recognizing the immense challenges facing the healthcare IT community, IDGA hosts a follow up summit in May, 2010 that will delve into a distinct set of topics that are of immediate concern and interest to all in the community. IDGA’s top notch roster of speakers will stress the importance of defining the problems faced by each of the respective offices and departments represented, while looking at immediate actionable items and focusing on long term objectives. By participating in this summit, you will have the unique opportunity to interact with a multitude of senior level professionals to discuss, brainstorm, and network in order to define methodologies and initiatives, while forging potential solutions and future partnerships in a closed, informal forum "
