Description

The technology landscape is rapidly advancing and fundamentally changing how consumers in all industries behave. As the military population rapidly adopts new innovations into their lives, there will be an expectation that their healthcare providers leverage these technologies in the delivery of care and to improve health. The Defense Health Agency (DHA) must look to enhance digital innovation and accelerate our velocity of learning if we are going to maximize health and readiness of a young and tech savvy population. We need a sustained infusion of new ideas, experiences, and approaches from outside of the Military Health System and healthcare to meet our mission and build tomorrow’s leaders. To close the gap, DHA established an Innovation Cell that is rapidly growing. The mission of the Innovation Cell is to “Drive DHA towards the pursuit of excellence in healthcare delivery by harnessing and matching the rapid pace of healthcare technology advancement to establish and remain world-class in healthcare delivery of the joint force.” Recognizing that our patient’s needs are rapidly changing (e.g., aging population, pandemic), DHA must be equipped to quickly adapt its capabilities. With the support from the enterprise, DHA can drive health outcomes through active patient engagement, and the transformation of care, based on the person’s needs.
