The Defense Health Agency has issued a request for information from industry related to the Department of Defense’s MHS Genesis electronic health record program.
The DOD Healthcare Management System Modernization program office is asking industry stakeholders about the level of integration work needed to sustain a commercial off-the-shelf system within the DOD enterprise, commercial best practices to operate a health-related system of systems in a cloud environment and their technical capability to perform work within the construct of a requirement like MHS Genesis, according to a notice published Thursday.
The RFI also seeks responses about strategies and methodologies used to manage data interoperability across EHR systems; commercial approach to training capabilities that require an interface with the main EHR platform; and contract vehicles that may be aligned with the requirement.
The DHMSM program office is also evaluating business practices for system and software engineering, lifecycle logistics support, software release management, among other aspects, and may use the responses and comments to develop additions or modifications to future draft requests for proposals.
FCW reported the DHA market research effort is for a follow-on contract for the MHS Genesis program.
The MHS Genesis system was developed by the Leidos Partnership for Defense Health, which consists of Leidos, Oracle Health, Henry Schein One and Accenture.
