DirectTrust (@DirectTrustorg) announced that its Second Annual DirectTrust Summit has gone virtual. DirectTrust is a non-profit healthcare industry alliance created to support secure, identity-verified electronic exchanges of protected health information (PHI) between provider organizations, and between providers and patients, for the purpose of improved coordination of care.
The Second Annual DirectTrust Summit, June 9-10, brings together an array of healthcare industry leaders to share ideas and best practices around improving health information exchange and interoperability. The virtual event will ensure a robust learning and networking experience for attendees. Both days include networking breaks featuring live chat rooms and the opportunity for virtual one-on-one meetings.
“We’re delighted to be moving forward with the Second Annual DirectTrust Summit. The DirectTrust Summit brings together healthcare industry leaders to share ideas and best practices, to build awareness and understanding of the many elements involved in and influencing the electronic sharing of health information, and to foster collaboration between DirectTrust members and DirectTrust members with non-members. Our goal is, as ever, to advance the industry’s progress toward achieving secure exchange among provider organizations, and between providers and patients nationwide,” said DirectTrust President and CEO Scott Stuewe.
The Summit features keynote presentations by Don Rucker, MD, ONC National Coordinator for Health Information Technology, and Congressman Bill Foster (D-IL). Dr. Rucker will address the future of healthcare data liquidity, review industry accomplishments, and needs for success going forward. Rep Foster will share legislative updates on industry-relevant concerns, including a national patient identifier. There will also be regulatory and identity panel discussions by industry experts, presentations highlighting emerging-use case studies, and a live demo of the 360X referral process through multiple care settings. A complete description of the sessions and speakers can be found here.
