Information Technology Development - DoD Healthcare Management System Modernization (DHMSM)
Abstract
Commensurate with the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics (OUSD(AT&L)) Acquisition Decision Memoranda (ADM), dated July 21, 2013 and January 2, 2014, the former joint DoD and Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Integrated Electronic Health Record (iEHR) program has been restructured to pursue two separate but related healthcare information technology efforts, the DoD Healthcare Management System Modernization (DHMSM) program and a newly defined iEHR program focused on providing seamless integrated sharing of electronic health data between the DoD and VA (renamed Defense Medical Information Exchange (DMIX)). DHMSM will acquire and support deployment, implementation, and sustainment of an electronic health record (EHR) system that replaces the DoD legacy Military Health System (MHS) inpatient and outpatient EHR systems. Overarching goal of the program is to enable healthcare teams to deliver high-quality, safe care and preventive services to patients through the use of easily accessible standards-based computerized patient records resulting in: improved accuracy of diagnoses and impact on health outcomes; increased patient participation in the healthcare process; improved patient-centered care coordination; and increased practice efficiencies in all settings, including operational environments. DHMSM will be executed in two planning Segments. DHMSM Segment 1 will focus on replacement of inpatient and outpatient systems, and will encompass deployment of the enterprise EHR to fixed facilities (garrison and non-garrison), as well as Military Treatment Facilities (MTFs) and clinics. DHMSM Segment 2 will focus on replacement of the in-theater EHR, and will encompass deployment of the enterprise EHR to en route, ship-board, and expeditionary components. The DHMSM program receives oversight and direction from Program Executive Office (PEO) Defense Healthcare Management System (DHMS) and reports to USD (AT&L). Stakeholders include the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs), Defense Health Agency (DHA), USD (AT&L), and PEO DHMS. The customers for this project include the beneficiaries, health care providers, and managers of the Army, Navy and Air Force MTFs and clinics.
