Federal News Radio: Military health and the move from legacy systems

“In the world of software development, transitions of large systems are the most challenging. When Leidos Health was presented with the challenge of modernizing the Military Health Clinical Health Support System, they knew they had the experience to leverage their commercial experience to accomplish the task.”

“Brand new systems are called “greenfield projects,” which start with collecting requirements. Compare that with a system designed for 9.6 million people, geographically diverse, with existing clinical data. Just to add to the complexity, include data changing as the system is being designed, and it must comply with federal security on top of standard Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) guidelines. Reaching the deadline was a major accomplishment.”

“Doug Barton, senior vice president, chief technology officer and chief engineer at Leidos Health joined Federal News Radio to discuss these issues and more.” Watch the full interview here.
