“The Leidos Partnership for Defense Health today announced it successfully delivered the MHS GENESIS electronic health record to an additional 4,800 clinicians and other providers as part of its most recent Wave deployment to 130 locations in Hawaii.”
“‘Our team remains committed to the safety and well-being of all those involved in our deployments, especially during this challenging time,’ said Liz Porter, Leidos Health Group president. ‘The clinicians and providers at these locations are not only battling COVID-19, they are doing so while implementing a new electronic health record. These dedicated individuals are the ultimate example of what it means to provide the best possible care to patients.'”
“The Leidos Partnership for Defense Health (LPDH) developed MHS GENESIS, the Military Health System’s new electronic health record (EHR), and has been providing program management and technical expertise to the Program Executive Office Defense Healthcare Management Systems (PEO DHMS) since 2015. MHS GENESIS is currently live and operational at more than 1,000 locations with approximately 65,000 total active users.”
“‘In the midst of the pandemic, the MHS GENESIS team along with the staff at these locations remain committed to delivering a single, common federal EHR,’ said Holly Joers, PEO DHMS. ‘We applaud their enduring focus and commitment to patient-centered care.'”
“MHS GENESIS is being deployed across the continental United States and overseas through a total of 23 waves. Each Wave will target a specific region over one year, with an average of three hospitals and numerous physical locations for each Wave. This approach enables the DOD to take full advantage of lessons learned from prior Waves to maximize subsequent Waves’ efficiencies. Full deployment of MHS GENESIS is expected by the end of calendar year 2023…” Read the full press release here.
