The digital health landscape continues evolve at a rapid pace. This Summit, from the Governor’s Office of Health Information Technology, aims to provide local leaders with the support, expertise and knowledge to navigate the changing landscape right here in our own setting.
The broad objective of the Digital Health Summit is to engage providers around the best tools and updated federal guidelines and policies to best manage their patients across multiple points of care with a focus light of the unique challenges we face as a small Territory (hurricane zone, frequent power outages, etc). In addition to building on the information shared and the successes achieved at Summit ’22 and in the Territory over the last year, this year’s summit will center around the theme, “Riding the Wave of Transformation.”
