DHA - AHLTA-CHCS Sustainment

The Defense Health Agency (DHA), Electronic Health Record (EHR) CORE Program Office, is supplementing their existing Market Research in an effort to identify interested sources and capabilities of industry for the procurement of the AHLTA-CHCS Sustainment. The mission of the EHR Core PMO is to sustain the current DoD EHR suite of outpatient and inpatient Information Technology (IT) applications and systems used in the garrison setting. The current EHR provides IT capabilities to over 96,000 users at 101 host sites and 400+ clinics, supporting 9.4M beneficiaries and averaging 775K outpatient encounters per week. The EHR Core PMO's mission includes maintaining and ensuring stability of the AHLTA Clinical Data Repository (CDR), which contains data entered by AHLTA users, data constantly extracted and translated from the 101 CHCS host systems, and clinical data flowing from the Theater. AHLTA is one of the world's largest Clinical Information System, providing secure, 24/7 access to TRICARE beneficiaries' medical records worldwide. AHLTA is a key enabler of military medical readiness, and the centerpiece of the MHS' EHR. Currently deployed on a global scale, AHLTA supports Force Health Protection (FHP) for DoD service members while serving abroad as well as health services provided to their family members and other beneficiaries in military medical facilities "back home." AHLTA data is stored in a central location to ensure health care providers have ready access to medical information when and where needed, to support the military's highly mobile patient population. As military members move from location to location, AHLTA ensures information is readily available to support their health care needs. AHLTA also supports uniform, high-quality health promotion (i.e., population health, wellness, and disease management), and health care delivery to TRICARE beneficiaries across the DoD enterprise. Implementing a single solution used in all care environments ensures a complete medical record, including data from the theater of operations, it is compatible with the DoD Command and Control System giving Commanders a clear view of what is going on medically in the field. AHLTA is fully deployed and in sustainment. In its current state, AHLTA leverages applications such as the legacy CHCS to perform routine patient appointment processing and scheduling, along with order entry and results retrieval for ancillary services such as pharmacy, laboratory, and radiology.
