Company will consolidate legacy healthcare data in a secure,
accessible, cloud-native system
ECS, a leader in advanced technology, science, and engineering
solutions, has been selected by the Naval Information Warfare
Center (NIWC) Atlantic to develop a legacy data consolidation
solution prototype for the Defense Health Agency (DHA). This
project was awarded as a Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee, Other Transactional
Authority (OTA) contract.
Under this contract, ECS will consolidate legacy data from
various clinical systems being replaced by the new Military Health
System (MHS) electronic health record initiative, MHS Genesis. This
cloud-native prototype will provide a secure, active archive for
DHA’s legacy health data, allowing clinicians to directly access a
patient’s historical medical records from a single source at the
point of care.
ECS will involve clinical partners in every phase of the
prototype design, from initial concept through the development of
user acceptance testing parameters. The active participation of
clinicians will create a more patient-centric system, which will
ultimately lead to better clinical outcomes for our nation’s
military personnel and their dependents.
“By safely sunsetting targeted legacy systems, this prototype is
expected to save millions of dollars annually for the federal
government,” said Don Oswalt, ECS vice president of information
systems. “We are proud to take an active role in pursuing this
cost-effective digital transformation strategy.”
“ECS is excited to support NIWC and DHA in this effort, helping
to improve continuity of care while providing significant cost
savings for DHA and its stakeholders,” said George Wilson,
president of ECS. “We are thrilled to have been selected and look
forward to working with NIWC and DHA to deliver this innovative
solution.”
