10/09/24: Resilience and Innovation: Transforming Defense Healthcare Data and Honoring Government Excellence
Description
On this edition of Fed Gov Today with Francis Rose, sponsored by the Women’s Center, we dive into key themes in healthcare data innovation and workforce resilience. Jesus Caban, Chief Data Scientist at the Program Executive Office for Defense Healthcare Management Systems (PEO DHMS), discusses the evolution of healthcare data sharing in the Department of Defense. He breaks down the challenges of normalizing data and explains how the DoD is working to standardize data across military health systems and with other healthcare organizations globally.
In addition to healthcare data, the episode addresses the broader theme of workforce resilience. Rachna Krishnan, CEO of the Women’s Center, explores how resilience is increasingly tied to holistic wellness and community support. She explains how resilience in the workforce can lead to more productive, engaged employees, and how the lines between work and personal life continue to blur post-pandemic. Finally, the show celebrates government excellence by highlighting this year’s Service to America Medals (Sammies) and the stories behind the public servants recognized for their extraordinary contributions. Max Stier, President and CEO of the Partnership for Public Service, shares insights into how nominees are selected and the importance of recognizing outstanding federal employees.
