SPOKANE, WASHINGTON – The Program Executive Office, Defense Healthcare Management Systems (PEO DHMS) today deployed MHS GENESIS at Fairchild Air Force Base in Spokane, Washington. A single integrated inpatient and outpatient electronic health record, MHS GENESIS transforms the delivery of healthcare for the Department of Defense and the Military Health System. The 92nd Medical Group is the first military hospital or clinic in the Pacific Northwest to use MHS GENESIS.

Onsite deployment activities include gathering site-specific information, end user training, change management/user adoption, and post deployment support. The DoD Healthcare Management System Modernization program management office and its industry partner, the Leidos Partnership for Defense Health, worked to develop interfaces and user-approved workflows, and finalized the technical integration of the baseline operational system.

Leadership from the DoD, U.S. Air Force, PEO DHMS, and the Defense Health Agency will hold an onsite review on February 15, 2017. An update on MHS GENESIS deployment at Fairchild AFB will be provided at that time.
