I am encouraged by the progress being made and the direction we are now headed. Even in this early stage, thanks to the leadership at each site, we\u2019re seeing improvements in patient safety, patient care and efficiency,\u201d wrote Travis Dalton, president of Cerner Government Services, in a news release on the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">MHS GENESIS was first deployed at Fairchild Air Force Base, Naval Hospital Oak Harbor, Naval Hospital Bremerton and Madigan Army Medical Center between February and October 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the release, between the first 60 days after deployment and May 2018, the four IOC sites saw a nine-minute improvement in the time it takes to see a provider after arriving at the emergency department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Between January and June 2018, the sites avoided approximately 2,300 duplicate lab orders and nearly 400 duplicate chest X-rays between January and August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since the first 60 days of the system going live, the sites saw a 40 percent increase in online messaging between patients and providers, a 33 percent increase in patients seen in ambulatory locations and a 65 percent increase in the volume of prescriptions and refills, according to the release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Cerner release also reiterated that initial reports of the system\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federaltimes.com\/it-networks\/health-it\/2018\/03\/09\/leidos-dod-officials-user-feedback-taken-out-of-context-in-ehr-rollout\/\" target=_blank>problems were part of the learning and improvement process<\/a> of MHS GENESIS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThough some have portrayed the report\u2019s findings as a setback for the program, these reports accomplished exactly what we intended. We welcome the feedback from the [initial operational test and evaluation] reports, as well as direct feedback from end-users and leadership at the IOC sites. We will continue to work with them to optimize and improve the system throughout the lifespan of the program,\u201d Dalton wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moving forward, Cerner is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federaltimes.com\/it-networks\/2018\/10\/05\/dod-rolls-out-new-wave-of-genesis-sites-with-hopes-of-fewer-complaints\/\" target=_blank>positioned to soon kick off deployments at facilities in California and Idaho<\/a>, and will be using the lessons learned from a recent event with DoD, Veterans Affairs and the Office of Management and Budget to make sure that upcoming work on the VA\u2019s electronic health records system will move forward smoothly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThough our work is only beginning with the VA\u2019s EHRM program, we\u2019re continually engaging their leaders and end-users through local workshops and site reviews that are critical to implementation at their IOC sites. EHRM will have ongoing innovation and health information exchanges among military and veteran care facilities and thousands of civilian health care providers throughout the program,\u201d wrote Dalton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Dalton, though the VA EHRM rollout will rely on lessons learned from MHS GENESIS, the agency also has unique challenges that will need to be addressed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Department of Defense&#8217;s MHS GENESIS system is now showing promise despite early negative reports, according to project
