DoD Medical Information Exchange and Interoperability / Defense Medical Information Exchange (DMIX)
Abstract
DMIX program will acquire the capabilities necessary to securely and reliably exchange standardized, normalized, and correlated health data with all partners through standard data/information exchange mechanisms. This allows users in different places and different organizations to access, use, and supplement health data (technical interoperability) that has a shared meaning so users (assisted by computers) are able to make care decisions (Semantic Interoperability – Level 4). DMIX manages the data exchange capability from legacy data stores in order to prepare for the transition to the modernized Electronic Health Record platform being acquired by DoD Healthcare Management System Modernization (DHMSM). DMIX consists of a family of capability initiatives supporting the seamless exchange of standardized health data among DoD, VA, other Federal agencies, and private providers as well as benefits administrators. The DMIX program provides the capability for health care providers to access and view complete and accurate patient health records from a variety of data sources thereby allowing healthcare providers to make faster and higher quality care decisions. DMIX was established in accordance with the joint memo from USD(C) and USD(AT&L) titled "Joint Memorandum on Major Defense Acquisition Program and Major Automated Information System Program Resource Transparency in Department of Defense Budget Systems" dated June 27, 2013. In addition, Joint Electronic Health Record Interoperability (JEHRI) and Virtual Lifetime Electronic Record (VLER) Health (to include Exchange) are part of the DMIX program as a direct result of the Acquisition Decision Memorandum (ADM) signed January 2, 2014 by the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistic (USD AT&L). Use of the health data may be done via legacy systems, clinical mobile applications and system agnostic viewers such as the Joint Legacy Viewer (JLV). Customers include the MHS, VA, other federal agencies and over 200,000 medical care practitioners.
