Leidos Advances MHS GENESIS Deployment to Support International Military Health Operations

RESTON, Va. — In a significant step forward for military healthcare management, Leidos Holdings, a key player in the defense and technology services industry, has achieved another milestone in its ongoing project to enhance health record systems for the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). Operating under the banner of the Leidos Partnership for Defense Health (LPDH), the company proudly announced the completion of the second phase of the MHS GENESIS system’s international deployment. This phase extended the electronic health record (EHR) platform to an additional 7,000 DoD clinicians and providers stationed overseas.

Expanding the Digital Front in Military Health Records

Leidos Holdings LDOS, which descended from the Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), continues to reinforce its stance as a frontrunner in delivering comprehensive scientific, engineering, systems integration, and technical services. Headquartered in Reston, Virginia, the company is forging ahead with expanding the MHS GENESIS system, bringing modernized, interconnected healthcare capabilities to U.S. military personnel across the globe.

Seamless Integration and Enhanced Patient Care

MHS GENESIS, which is the cornerstone of the Military Health System's strategy for a centralized, interoperable EHR, allows medical practitioners to swiftly access and update patient records, thereby enhancing the quality of care regardless of the location. Through LPDH's efforts, the EHR's deployment is establishing a more efficient and secure platform catering to the healthcare needs of the Armed Forces, fortifying patient data security and facilitating the mobility of medical operations.

The collaboration between LPDH and the DoD underscores a shared commitment to deploying sophisticated technologies that effectively support service members and their families. This milestone reflects the collective drive to optimize healthcare for military personnel, ensuring that the evolving demands of the modern battlefield are met with equally dynamic healthcare solutions.

This extended implementation of MHS GENESIS underpins Leidos Holdings’ ambition to deliver robust and resilient healthcare infrastructures to support the military wherever they are deployed, safeguarding not only the well-being of America's service members but also the security of their health information.
