WT Power Breakfast: Health IT: Trends, Opportunities and Market Leaders

Behind every health care mission is a massive enterprise IT operation. Agencies like the VA, DHA and CMS are continually modernizing the systems that keep those missions running. From financial management and HR to procurement, records and compliance, these back-office environments represent some of the federal government's largest and most complex technology footprints. This session will examine where agencies are investing today, where legacy systems are creating new modernization needs, and what emerging opportunities could be next for industry.

MHS GENESIS continues to advance as the Defense Health Agency deploys new capabilities through the enterprise baseline to optimize patient care and enhance the provider experience. This conversation will explore DHA’s progress in evolving the system, including the partnerships, data-sharing efforts, expansion of support to warfighters across global deployed environments, and support required to sustain and improve the platform. The discussion will also examine MHS GENESIS’ continued evolution across the federal landscape, including Department of Veterans Affairs deployments and interoperability initiatives. 

Fraud, waste and abuse cost the health care system billions of dollars, making program integrity a critical mission, and a growing technology challenge. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services is turning to data, analytics, automation and other tools to identify suspicious activity, uncover vulnerabilities and protect taxpayer dollars. This session will take a closer look at the threats CMS is seeing today, how the agency is using technology to detect and prevent fraud, and where new capabilities could strengthen its program integrity mission.

Health care technology is moving beyond incremental modernization. Advances in AI, digital health, medical devices, imaging and drug development are changing how research is conducted, how products reach patients and how care is delivered. This forward-looking conversation will explore the technologies gaining traction across federal health agencies, where government leaders see the greatest potential, and how emerging capabilities could reshape the health care landscape and the market opportunities around it.
