This week is the 11th Battlefield Healthcare Summit in San Antonio, Texas. The event is sponsored by the Institute for Defense and Government Advancement and provides its attendees with the latest developments in the health care we provide our warriors.
Among those attending? Senior level professionals from military units/ organizations, government agencies, contractors, technology service providers, academia, members from the press, and our very own founder and contributor Ali Manouchehri.
His master class, titled “Embracing the Culture of Listening,” covers how new media tools will provide coping techniques and rehabilitation to the 21st century warrior, and why social media can help address these challenges.
The event will also feature information about:
- Wounded Warrior Programs and post combat care
- New front line medical technologies and treatments
- Polytrauma rehab coordination: including advancements with prosthetics and burn therapy
- Pre-deployment medical training
- TBI and combat stress injuries
- Effective wound care management and infection control in theater
This is an example of how military leaders are improving and developing the healthcare process for soldiers before, during, and after deployment and the kinds of topics they’re discussing. Which of these areas need the most attention? Where are our warriors receiving the best care? Let us know in the comments!
