In order to reach all Veterans in need of care, it will take the broader American healthcare system and health tech community coming together to improve accessibility and implement emerging tech. From their Interoperability Pledge involving 13 health systems willing to connect directly from open API’s to a novel policy created to cover care for all Veterans at risk for suicide to the creation of an AI Tech Sprint bringing in early stage developers to audition their products, the VA is casting a wide partnership net to ensure no Veteran is left behind. Further, they are leading the way in speeding up the government contracting process and utilizing internal resources to focus on delivering direct services over administrative tasks. And not to mention their novel work in clinical trials for psychedelic therapies! We have a lot to cover, so join Under Secretary Elnahal to get the latest on their impactful agenda.
