The year is coming to an end and there are a few topics that we didn't make full episodes out of that we thought were worth discussing. In this episode we hash out: A grab bag of nutrition topics including eating local, raw milk, processed food, and other hot topics in the nutrition space. Fitness during the holidays (or during travel in general). Some moderately spicy political stuff, mostly tied to "MAHA" and what we might see under the incoming presidential administration. Military medical accessions standards (the consequences of MHS Genesis on recruiting, conditions that require waivers, and some recent pilot programs). Tune in for a wide ranging conversation and little light debate. If you're interested in a deeper dive on any of the topics, let us know! Or better yet, recommend an expert guest we can bring on.

Holly Joers, the program executive officer for the Program Executive Office, Defense Healthcare Management Systems (PEO-DHMS), said DoD's Cerner-based EHR, is now live at 75% of DoD's clinics and hospitals, with 160,000 users and 6.1 million beneficiaries in the system so far.Joers said DoD's experience has been that the deployment process works much, much better once it's moved beyond the first few sites. After that, a lot of lessons have been learned, and the institution can start to converge around change management and IT deployment practices that make sense for the whole enterprise.“I can't comment specifically on VA, but when I look at where they are now, I'm taken back to where DoD was in the 2017-2018 timeframe,” she said. “There were challenges with the network, and so we made rules about what infrastructure had to be in place before a go-live, and how long it needed to be stable before we went live. We looked at our governance and management process to hear different inputs. When you're only dealing with four sites, everyone wants to make it work for what their workflow was before. So you really have to have the fortitude to look at making an enterprise standard, knowing that it might not match what they're currently doing today. And we had to go through those growing pains.”In the interview Joers also discussed: How PEO-DHMS is avoiding technical debt as it continues to develop MHS Genesis. The integration of anonymized data from Genesis with other “secondary” data sources – including, for instance, Census data – to make it easier to answer bigger public health questions. Workflow and process standardization and modernization How they are using feedback from users and patients to improve MHS Genesis Learn more about your ad choices.

The “end of the beginning” is around the corner for MHS GENESIS. The departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs, along with the Coast Guard and now National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, are working together to create a single, common federal electronic health record. Bill Tinston, director of the Federal Electronic Health Record Modernization (FEHRM) Office, joins Defense Healthcare Management Systems PEO Holly Joers at HIMSS in Chicago to explain the program's latest progress, lessons learned and how they're working together to implement best practices at future sites. Looking ahead, DOD is focusing on improving the patient experience.

Holly Joers, the program executive officer for Defense Healthcare Management Systems talks with Federal News Network's Jared Serbu and Jason Miller about DoD's ongoing deployment of a new electronic heath record, how the new EHR will work with other federal agencies, and the centrality of data in PEO-DHMS's future mission.

The Defense Department has just wrapped up the biggest deployment so far of its new multibillion dollar electronic health record. The latest wave of MHS Genesis installations just about doubled the system's footprint in a single day, and the massive IT project is now about a third of the way finished. Federal News Network's Jared Serbu has an update on what Defense health officials have learned so far, and how the system will integrate with VA's EHR project.

What would you add to the job description for the next Cerner CEO?  They may not be asking, but let's go ahead and give them anyway.FTACerner Corporation on Wednesday announced that it will begin the process of looking for a new chief executive officer, more than three years since current CEO Brent Shafer succeeded the health IT giant's late founder Neal Patterson.As for Cerner's ongoing electronic health record projects with the U.S. Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs, Schafer said he was optimistic about both.The DoD is moving "full speed ahead" on its MHS GENESIS deployments, he noted.As for the VA – which recently launched a strategic review of its EHR modernization program – Shafer said VA Secretary Denis McDonough has made clear he is "committed to Cerner and this program. We believe this review is analogous to the steps taken by the DoD during their initial go-live.---I believe that Cerner needs to change its culture and focus on the core business.  Sure, there will be growth in new areas, but the core has to be strong to enable that growth.  What are your thoughts?

The Defense Healthcare Management System Program Executive Office (DHMS) has been deploying the Military Health System’s new electronic health record, MHS GENESIS. DHMS Acting Program Executive Officer Holly Joers discusses in this episode updates to the deployment, including the inclusion of the U.S. Coast Guard to the EHR, as well as how the Joint Health Information Exchange and more recent CommonWell Health Alliance partnerships are creating greater patient information interoperability between the agencies and their provider partners.

It's been more than two years since the Defense Department started the rollout of its new electronic health record. After a somewhat rocky start in the Pacific Northwest, officials said they've done a lot to overcome the learning curve; the latest deployments in California and Idaho went much more smoothly. Federal News Network's Jared Serbu has the latest on the MHS Genesis deployment. He joined Federal Drive with Tom Temin to discuss.

Richard Wittstruck, associate director of Field Based Experimentation and Integration at the U.S. Army CCDC C5ISR Center, discusses the latest Cyber Blitz experiment, and why training soldiers for multi-domain operations is important. William Tinston, program executive officer for Defense Healthcare Management Systems and Maj. Gen. Lee Payne, assistant director of combat support at the Defense Health Agency, explain where health record modernization in the military is headed, and their new approach in deploying MHS GENESIS to health centers. Roger Zakheim, director of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library Foundation and Institute, details how funding uncertainty impacts the Pentagon’s technology efforts.

Todd Myers, automation lead chief information officer at NGA, outlines the agency’s current goals for machine learning, and how it will help manage the large quantities of data that flow into their systems. William Tinston, program executive officer for Defense Healthcare Management Systems, discusses what they’ve learned in testing the MHS GENESIS system, and how the new record will benefit service members throughout their careers. Mike Stevens, former Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy and executive director of the Navy League, discusses legislation to ensure members of the Coast Guard get paid the same as the other military branches during shutdowns.

On this episode of Perspectives on Health and Tech, we are joined by Julie Stoner, an executive with Cerner Government Services – a member of the Leidos Partnership for Defense Health - and Ms. Stacy Cummings, former program executive officer for Defense Healthcare Management Systems. They discuss MHS GENESIS, an integrated electronic health and dental record solution that will be deployed to all military hospitals and clinics around the world.

Stacy Cummings, program executive officer for the Defense Healthcare Management Systems, joins The Cerner Podcast to discuss MHS GENESIS, a modernized electronic health record that is posed to deliver smarter, safer care to military health facilities around the world.

The military's new $5.5 billion electronic health record is about to get its own examination. The Senate voted unanimously last week to require an independent review of MHS Genesis, the latest sign of congressional concern about the massive EHR project. Federal News Radio's Jared Serbu writes about it in this week's edition of the DoD Reporter's Notebook and shares the details on Federal Drive with Tom Temin

Defense officials acknowledge early challenges in EHR deployment, but have no plans to delay further implementation. Federal News Radio's Jared Serbu joined Federal Drive with Tom Temin with more details.

Veterans Affairs Secretary David Shulkin said his agenda for the future of the VA Choice Program also aligns with the White House's vision. Federal News Radio's Nicole Ogrysko joins Federal Drive with Tom Temin to give more details.

Lawmakers urge the Coast Guard to follow the Veterans Affairs Department's example and adopt the same EHR system used by the Defense Department.

The military health system recently marked the successful installation of its new electronic health record at DoD's first four pilot sites in the Pacific Northwest. But the process is nowhere near as simple as ripping out the old electronic heath record systems and replacing them with a new one. The more than 100 sites yet to receive MHS Genesis still have to go through a months-long preparation process involving new hardware, software, and network capabilities to support the new EHR. Col. Kevin Seeley, the Defense Health Agency's deputy chief information officer joins us to talk about those initiatives: Desktop to Datacenter and the Medical Community of Interest.

The Defense Health Agency is set to take over the management of all of the military's medical treatment facilities by next October. As part of the ramp-up, DHA has been busy building and upgrading its IT infrastructure. The idea is for clinicians to see the exact same desktop at any DoD health facility in the world. The Medical Community of Interest, as it's called, is also paving the way for the department's new electronic health record, MHS Genesis. Col. Kevin Seeley is DHA's acting chief information officer. He talked with Federal News Radio's Jared Serbu about the upgrades.

In a ceremony in Tacoma, Washington last week, Defense officials marked a milestone in their rollout of a new, $4.3 billion electronic health record. The system is now live at the four medical facilities DoD picked for its initial deployment. But as Federal News Radios Jared Serbu tells Federal Drive with Tom Temin, there's a lot left to do before DoD deploys MHS Genesis around the rest of the world.

In this episode of The Cerner Podcast, we hear from Captain James Ellzy, deputy program executive officer for the program executive office with the U.S. Defense Healthcare Management System. CAPT Ellzy has been practicing family medicine for more than 20 years, and previously served as Chief Medical Informatics Officer for the U.S. Navy.
