RESTON, Va., Jan. 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Leidos
Partnership for Defense Health (LPDH) today announced it
successfully delivered the MHS GENESIS electronic health record to
an additional 19,000+ clinicians and providers as part of its
largest Wave deployment to date, spanning 100 locations in
Texas.
"MHS GENESIS is now live and operational in the only Level 1
Trauma Center in the Defense Department," said Liz Porter, Leidos Health Group president. "It
is a great honor knowing the system will enable clinicians and
providers to continue delivering advanced care to several thousand
trauma and burn patients in Central San
Antonio."
LPDH developed MHS GENESIS, the Military Health System's new
electronic health record, and has been providing program management
and technical expertise to the Program Executive Office Defense
Healthcare Management Systems (PEO DHMS) since
2015.
The MHS GENESIS system is now operational at more than 1,300
locations with approximately 85,000 total active users —
approximately 38% deployed.
"The program has continued to operate both on schedule and on
budget, despite facing unforeseen challenges due to the COVID-19
Pandemic," notes Holly Joers, PEO
DHMS. "We are extremely proud of the team's continued commitment to
the mission and ability to react and respond to these real-world
events."
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.
