With the deployment of the system, called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/pay-benefits\/2022\/05\/09\/errors-in-dods-new-electronic-health-care-records-system-raise-concerns-among-providers\/\" target=\"_blank\">MHS Genesis<\/a>, at William Beaumont Army Medical Center at Fort Bliss, Texas, and Eisenhower Army Medical Center at Fort Gordon, Georgia, the rollout is 52% complete, officials said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The purpose is to have a single, common health care record for military members, veterans and their families. DoD and VA have been working together to ensure that as service members transition to veteran status, their electronic health record follows them whenever and wherever they need health care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The DoD electronic health record allows health care providers to share information about patients with other health care providers, both inside and outside the military health system. And through the MHS Genesis Patient Portal, military health care beneficiaries have secure, 24\/7 online access to their health information, including managing appointments and exchanging messages with their health care providers. The Genesis portal replaces the Tricare Online Secure Patient Portal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The DoD and VA both use the Oracle Cerner software platform for their electronic health record systems. The VA has deployed its system, called Millenium, at three sites. But the VA rollout at some locations has been plagued by unanticipated outages and system problems. On June 17, VA officials notified Congress they were delaying implementation to additional sites until 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/militarytimes\/news\/pentagon-congress\/2022\/06\/18\/va-to-delay-electronic-medical-records-deployment-to-additional-sites-until-2023\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/3139743.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">VA to delay electronic medical records deployment to additional sites until 2023<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">VA sites in Portland and Seattle were scheduled to start work with the new system later this year.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, defense health officials said during a media call Tuesday that they are on budget and on schedule to complete the worldwide rollout of Genesis by the end of 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For DoD, procedures are in place to ensure health care operations can continue in the event there\u2019s any Genesis down time, said Holly Joers, program executive officer of Defense Healthcare Management Systems. Officials also continually monitor the quality of the system, looking at the metrics about what data is available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DoD has taken actions to avoid some of the problems the VA has had. For example, they haven\u2019t physically loaded patients\u2019 legacy health care information into the new Genesis system, but make it available separately going forward. Officials also took time to understand workflows, Joers said. \u201cOne person\u2019s job affects the next one down the line. \u2026 We took some time to really appreciate that as we rolled out.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond those initial growing pains, she said, \u201cWe\u2019re in a different place in terms of users we have and the maturity of the system,\u201d she said. There are more than 114,00 active users at these 1,590 locations, officials said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Genesis has had its growing pains over the years. As recently as May, the DoD Inspector General\u2019s Office issued a report citing health care providers\u2019 concerns about the accuracy and completeness of information.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/militarytimes\/management\/pay-benefits\/2022\/05\/09\/errors-in-dods-new-electronic-health-care-records-system-raise-concerns-among-providers\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"215\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Electronic-health-records-DVIDS.6595521.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Errors in DoD\u2019s new electronic health care records system raise concerns among providers<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Health care providers say mistakes and incomplete information affect patient health care.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While officials are closing in on deployments of Genesis over the next 18 months, Joers said, \u201cthis is not just about deploying a health IT system. It\u2019s about health care outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Army Maj. Gen. (Dr.) George \u201cNed\u201d Appenzeller, director of staff at the Defense Health Agency, also holds the title of MHS electronic health record functional champion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAs a provider \u2026 I\u2019ve always expected all my electronic systems to go down\u201d at some point, he said, noting that every facility has procedures in place to take care of patients in the event of that down time. \u201cThe electronic health health record is an awesome system for helping us provide safe, standardized, effective patient care. \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAs medical providers we take care of patients no matter what the circumstances and we always take the best care of patients we can,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI love the tools, and I love having the electronic health record,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m an emergency medicine physician, so being able to see what has gone on in someone\u2019s record is pretty important to me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That includes what\u2019s happened in inpatient wards, outpatient clinics, in health care out in the community, in pharmacies and elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis is a phenomenal improvement over what we had 20 or 25 years ago when I started taking care of patients,\u201d he said. \u201cAs a provider, I really appreciate what this is doing for the safety of our patients and the outcomes of our patients.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DoD remains on schedule to deploy its Genesis electronic health records system worldwide by the end of
