MHS GENESIS is a state-of-the-market electronic health record (EHR) system acquired by the Department of Defense (DoD). MHS GENESIS provides an integrated medical and dental record that connects patient information across Garrison and Theatre environments. Cerner Corporation and Henry Schein, Inc., respectively, provide the medical and dental technical solutions of MHS GENESIS. It will replace several legacy systems, including, but not limited to: Armed Forces Health Longitudinal Technology Application (AHLTA), Composite Health Care System (CHCS), and inpatient and clinical components of Theater Medical Information Program-Joint (TMIP-J).

MHS GENESIS will deploy enterprise-wide to all medical and dental fixed facilities worldwide. Deployment segments are built on a "wave" model. The Initial Operational Capability (IOC) sites in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) are the first wave to receive MHS GENESIS.

The Joint Operational Medical Information System (JOMIS) Program Management Office (PMO) is responsible for the Operational Medicine deployment of MHS GENESIS. The deployment schedule is under development.

IOC stands for Initial Operational Capability. This term is used to describe the first sites that will receive MHS GENESIS.

The IOC sites are listed below. Their support facilities and clinics are included in the IOC sites.

• Madigan Army Medical Center
• Naval Hospital Bremerton
• Naval Hospital Oak Harbor
• Fairchild Air Force Base (92nd Medical and Dental)

The MHS GENESIS Patient Portal is a secure website where you can access your current medical and active duty dental health records, manage appointments, and exchange messages with your healthcare team.

The MHS GENESIS Patient Portal function is very similar to TRICARE Online (TOL)/RelayHealth.

Through the MHS GENESIS Patient Portal, you can:

• Manage medical and active duty dental appointments for yourself and your dependents’ medical appointments
• Review clinical notes and certain lab or test results
• Request prescription renewals
• Exchange secure messages with your healthcare team
• Monitor your health information and view your portal profile
• Complete a pre-visit, active duty dental health history questionnaire online
• Review current health information
• View, download, transmit and print health data
• Receive alerts from the MHS GENESIS Patient Portal to schedule wellness exams and preventive screens, as well as links to helpful health education

Fairchild Air Force Base beneficiaries and military treatment facility (MTF) staff will have access to the MHS GENESIS Patient Portal beginning February 7, 2017. Other locations will be announced when available.

The MHS GENESIS Patient Portal replaces TOL at MHS GENESIS site locations. However, you will maintain access to your healthcare information from previous electronic health record encounters via TOL Blue Button.

• Prescription Refills: To refill prescriptions, you can continue to call the Fairchild AFB Pharmacy Refill line at 1-509-247-5567.
• Prescription Renewals: You should access the MHS GENESIS Patient Portal to send a message to your healthcare team requesting prescription renewals.
• Non-MHS GENESIS Sites: Once you move to a new location/MTF that has not implemented MHS GENESIS, you will resume use of RelayHealth or TOL.
