Leadership
As America’s largest integrated healthcare system, the Veterans Health Administration is uniquely positioned to make a significant impact on healthcare access, delivery and outcomes. At the same time, there are numerous insights and lessons learned from the VA healthcare system that can be applied to private sector healthcare. In this session, Dr. Shereef Elnahal, Under Secretary for Health for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, will share some of the VA’s most impactful and innovative approaches to improve care delivery for our nation’s veterans. From building the capacity of thousands of new healthcare providers to improving efficiency and productivity in ambulatory care, Dr. Elnahal’s insights will prove valuable to healthcare leaders across the spectrum. Attendees will also learn more about how the VA has implemented the PACT Act to create improvements in cost sharing and operations to drive growth and demand in a sustainable way and will hear about the VA’s use of AI to reduce clinician administrative burden and burnout.
