“Almost all stakeholders in this field have a general understanding and working knowledge of the current governance structures and architectural roadmaps moving forward. We feel there is now a need to really look at how are we defining what 'success' will mean for both the provider and the patient in these endeavors. Our educational and training Summits offer a non-partisan, informal forum where we encourage real, actionable, discussion and debate, and this is a chance for the experts in the field to really role their sleeves up and talk about their unique and shared perspectives with their respective colleagues,” stated Ms. Madison, Director of Communications for DSI. The Summit benefits the non profit 501c3 Wounded Warrior Project through DSI’s charitable donations to the WWP.
