The NHIT - Listening Sessions titled “The Importance of Health Information Technology and Innovation in Building a 21st Century Health ecosystem in the U.S. Virgin Islands.” The Town-hall sessions will enable the community to provide their input into the development of a Health Information Exchange for the Territory.
The meetings will engage interested stakeholders in a discussion about enhancing the USVI’s capacity to promote public health in ways that align with the mandates of a 21st century health system. By connecting people with providers, data and the supports they need to get healthy and stay well, the residents of the USVI will have a world class, comprehensive health and care system that is sustainable and resilient to natural or man-made disasters.
The Townhalls will be taking place at the following locations:
St. Croix: The Virgin Islands Cardiac Center - Conference Room
Date: Monday, August 5th
Time: 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
RSVP: Please REGISTER Today
St. Thomas: Schneider Regional Medical Center - Sun Room
Date: Wednesday, August 7th
Time: 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm

NHIT will also be hosting smaller Focus Groups and one-on-one Meetings across the islands to assess the need for a USVI Health IT & Digital Health Strategic Plan, understand the current state of Health IT Innovation in USVI, and understand specific USVI assets and opportunities for Health IT & digital technologies to improve health in USVI. This evidenced based planning will help inform that USVI 21st century health system.
The Townhall meetings are supported by a grant from the Department of Interior, and in conjunction with the Medical Assistance Program at the Department of Human Services.
