Information Technology Development - DoD Healthcare Management System Modernization (DHMSM) at DHA
Abstract
DHMSM will acquire and support deployment, and implementation of an electronic health record (EHR) system that replaces the DoD legacy 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 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 operational environments. DHMSM replaces DoD legacy healthcare systems with a commercial solution in use in other medical systems that is open, rendered as a modular architecture, using standards-based/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 44,000 practitioners and 9.5 million beneficiaries. 1. Clinical workflow and provider clinical decision support; 2. Capture, maintain, use, protect, preserve and share health data and information; 3. 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 4. 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.
