Health agencies point to a need for modernized IT infrastructure and data-driven decisions.

DHA has updated TRICARE Online (TOL), for example, to include several services that provide active-duty service members, veterans and their families with 24/7 access to care and online health services.

The military's new electronic health record program, MHS Genesis, has moved beyond rollout at initial operating capability sites and will begin rollout in the “Travis Wave” (named for Travis Air Force Base, one of the first bases in the wave) Sept. 7.

Representatives from the Department of Veterans Affairs see great opportunity in an upcoming transfer of the agency's electronic health records from the homegrown VISTA platform to a new database.
