Civilian and military agencies are collaborating to create a unified health system that allows users to maintain a consistent health record no matter which agency is providing them health care. EHRs rely on things like data standards and application programming interfaces (APIs) to communicate data across systems. Federal agencies are collaborating on security, upskilling and modernization to deliver a smooth and seamless experience to those who access government health care.
