We looked at broad issuesranging from the current status of VA/DoD interoperability, open sourcesystems, AHLTA and the NHIN, to the future of a VLER.

Recognizing the immense challenges facing the healthcare IT community,IDGA hosts a follow up summit in May, 2010 that will delve into a distinctset of topics that are of immediate concern and interest to all in thecommunity.
