Federal Health IT (FHIT) Innovation Event & Awards
Most Popular in the Last… Federal Health IT (FHIT) Innovation Event & Awards This event will be unlike any typical Federal government event. Held at 1776 DC, the premier startup incubator in DC, the first part of this event include a panel featuring three of the real leaders driving innovation across the Federal Health Space, with perspective from Military Health and VA to HHS. The second part of the evening will celebrate many of the most innovative programs and initiatives happening across the Federal Health IT (FHIT) space today as the FHIT Innovation awards are handed out. Winners will be selected by an evaluation panel that includes government, industry and the startup community. We are excited to let you know that this event will include two parts. The first is a panel style presentation that will include some of the leading innovators from across government, including: Gregory Downing, D.O., Ph.D., HHS Executive Director for Innovation: In this role he promotes innovation and entrepreneurship activities across the workforce through the HHS IDEA Lab. In addition, he supports open government activities through uses of technology and data to promote improvement in health and health care.
