Description

Military medical readiness depends on timely, accurate data flowing from point of care and other systems to command decision-makers, yet current systems and approaches have left data fragmented and siloed, creating delays that compromise force health protection. As operational tempo intensifies, commanders require accurate, complete, and real-time visibility into force health status, predictive insights into readiness risks, and decision support tools enabling proactive readiness management. This panel convenes senior strategic medical leaders from across uniformed services to discuss how readiness can and must be improved enabled by data and new approaches —emphasizing outcomes. Strategic leaders will address critical questions: What are the essential changes to and investments in process, governance, policy, technology, and culture needed to accelerate readiness decisions? What barriers have slowed improvement and adoption, and how can they be overcome? What governance models enable joint collaboration while preserving service-specific requirements? How do we build trust and drive adoption among providers and commanders? The panel format enables comparison of service-specific strategies while identifying opportunities for standardization and collaboration. Attendees will gain actionable insights on how best to retool to use data and change current approaches to being data-driven to be prepared for and win the next engagement.
