Advancing osteopathic voices in digital health and innovation.
The AOIA supports the advancement of the osteopathic field and its providers by allocating significant resources toward the development and implementation of Healthcare Technology and Digital Health innovation. Our goal is to empower physicians with the right tools to optimize and strengthen the quality of care delivered to patients.
About
The Digital Health Innovation (DHI) Community of Practice (CoP) exists to facilitate collaboration, drive innovation and provide networking opportunities for stakeholders across the osteopathic continuum.
Through the DHI CoP, stakeholders can advance osteopathic distinctions in digital health initiatives, enhance knowledge sharing and collaboration, and drive engagement and innovation. By participating in the community, individuals can contribute to the shaping of digital health technologies, engage with thought leaders and support the application of Clinical Informatics as a sub-specialty within the osteopathic profession. Ultimately, the DHI CoP serves as a vital platform for individuals to connect, learn and advocate for the integration of osteopathic principles in the future of medicine.
Background
The American Osteopathic Information Association (AOIA) recognizes the profound impact of digital health technologies on modern healthcare practices. The AOIA has stood up the Digital Health Information (DHI) Community of Practice (CoP) to better connect, educate and provide cross-collaborative and advising opportunities across the full-scope of the osteopathic professionals with innovative products and solutions. The CoP is an evolved version of AOIA’s Judicious Osteopathic Innovation Network Transformation System (JOINTS).
This transition underscores a commitment to educating and advancing products and services that align with osteopathic principles, enabling collaboration amongst Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DOs) and Osteopathic Residents and Medical Students.
The DHI CoP is designed to serve as a dynamic hub for continuous learning, collaboration, and thought leadership within the osteopathic professional community. It provides a vital platform for stakeholders to convene, contribute insights, and collectively influence the future of medicine through digital health initiatives.
By facilitating meaningful dialogue and knowledge exchange among AOIA members and strategic partners, the DHI CoP aims to propel the osteopathic profession forward as a leader in integrating and leveraging digital health innovations to enhance patient care and healthcare delivery systems.
DHI Steering Committee
The Digital Health Innovation Steering Committee actively pursues several areas of focus to advance its mission of enabling osteopathic collaboration and innovation within the digital health sector. It will embark on identifying and describing its strategic priorities and the foundational elements of how osteopathic philosophy can enrich the use and innovative development around digital health technologies.
Digital innovation is transforming healthcare. As osteopathic physicians, we must integrate our traditional principles with emerging technologies while maintaining our leadership in patient-centered care. How do we navigate this intersection of osteopathic medicine, artificial intelligence, and digital health?
