Military Interoperable Digital Hospital Testbed (MIDHT)

Abstract

The MIDHT project continues to implement and research health information technologies (HIT) within the Conemaugh Health System, located in Southwestern Pennsylvania. Core technologies under investigation include pharmacy robotics, bar code medication administration (BCMA) and health information exchange via the Nationwide Health Information Network. Significant progress has been made on both arms of the project. Pharmacy robotics is widely deployed throughout Memorial Medical Center and has been extended to the rural Meyersdale Medical Center. Bar code medication administration went live on three inpatient units on 27 September 2011. Research activities are progressing as planned. Conemaugh was conditionally approved to participate in the Nationwide Health Information Network after passing conformance and interoperability testing. Discussions are in progress with the Department of Veterans Affairs regarding a production pilot.
