Building the Foundation for 2027: What’s Driving the Next Phase of Federal Health IT

Federal health agencies are entering a period where modernization is defined by integration, not implementation. Cloud environments, AI‑enabled operations, and stronger cyber defenses are becoming core to mission delivery, and the Preview event will explore the shared pressures and priorities shaping that shift. This session sets the tone for the 2027 Health IT Summit by focusing on broad, cross‑agency themes rather than program‑specific details, keeping the door open for a wide range of speakers and perspectives.

Leaders from across the federal health community will discuss how agencies are preparing for federated data environments, expanding the use of generative and agent‑based AI, strengthening supply‑chain‑aware cybersecurity, and improving digital engagement tools that support preventive care. These themes mirror the Summit’s focus on integrating cloud, AI, and cyber capabilities to deliver measurable improvements in patient outcomes.
