Information Technology Development - DoD Healthcare Management System Modernization (DHMSM) at DHA
Abstract
DoD Healthcare Management System Modernization (DHMSM) Program: • DHMSM will acquire, deploy, and implement an electronic health record (EHR) system that replaces the DoD legacy MHS inpatient and outpatient EHR systems. The 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 medication; improved impact on health outcomes; increased patient participation in the healthcare process; improved patient-centered care coordination; and increased practice efficiencies in all settings, including all DoD operational environments. • DHMSM will be executed to deliver uniform information management options across both garrison and theater environments. DHMSM will focus on the replacement of inpatient and outpatient systems, and will encompass deployment of the enterprise EHR to fixed facilities as well as expeditionary components. • DHMSM will replace the DoD legacy healthcare management systems with a commercial off-the-shelf capability that is open, modular, and standards-based with non-proprietary interfaces. DHMSM will support the Department’s goals of net- centricity by providing a framework for full human and technical connectivity and interoperability that allows DoD users and mission partners to share the information they need, when they need it, in a form they can understand and act on with confidence, and protects information from those who should not have it. Once fielded, the EHR will support the following healthcare activities for DoD’s practitioners and beneficiaries: o Clinical workflow and provider clinical decision support; o Capture, maintain, use, protect, preserve and share health data and information; o Retrieval and presentation of health data and information that is meaningful for EHR users regardless of where the patient’s records are physically maintained; and o Analysis and management of health information from multiple perspectives to include population health, military medical readiness, clinical quality, disease management, and medical research. iEHR RDT&E is reported under the program element (PE) 0605013 through FY 2013 inclusive, but iEHR, VLER Health and DHMSM will be reported under new program element 0605023 for FY 2014. In FY 2015, PE 0605023 will report only iEHR and VLER Health since DHMSM will have its own PE starting in FY 2015. In FY 2016 and out, only iEHR Increment 1 will be reported in PE 0605023. DHMSM will continue to be only initiative reported in PE 0605026.
