Tech Spotlight: Powering Innovations in Health IT

The federal government manages the largest health care system in the world with its veterans, military and Indian health systems, comprised of more than two hundred hospitals around the world. The challenge of providing better care relies on IT innovations that can help shift the hospitals and medical treatment centers to an agile, completely digital, patient-centered system that supports a telehealth system, electronic health records, patient portals that allow access to records and online scheduling options.

During this Tech Spotlight Nextgov/FCW editors will sit down with public sector and industry experts to discuss such topics as current progress on records systems, AI helping read digital images and tests for abnormalities, virtual reality training for physicians and surgeons and how 3D printing can create special medical instruments and even replace bone parts.
