9.4 million beneficiaries of Military Health System

Planned Systems International (PSI), a provider of information technology (IT) solutions and services to the federal government, has been awarded a task order by the Defense Health Information Management System (DHIMS) Program Office to provide operations and maintenance support to AHLTA-Theater (AHLTA-T), the military’s electronic health record for the Military Theater environment. The task order has a total value of $8.3 million if all options are exercised.

AHLTA-T maintains a comprehensive, computer-based patient record for every soldier, sailor, airman, marine, and beneficiary entitled to DoD military healthcare in theater of operations. Under this task order, PSI and its team members, Evolvent and ASM Research, will provide maintenance, sustainment and support services, which will improve system speed, reliability, data quality, and usability of currently existing AHLTA-T products. The new functionalities will improve patient safety and quality of care for approximately 9.4 million beneficiaries of the Military Health System (MHS) TRICARE Program.
