A DHA spokesperson said the agency is looking to build “a new healthcare model that places the administrative aspects of healthcare in the background.”
The Defense Health Agency is seeking to transform its military health system — or MHS — and is looking for commercial solutions to help it create a new and improved model of care, according to a Thursday solicitation notice.
In its request, the Defense Innovation Unit — the Pentagon’s hub for speeding up the acquisition of commercial technologies for military use — warned that the MHS “cannot sustain the readiness of the medical force in the present operating model” and added that “a new model for delivering care and a technology-enabled framework for adapting and evolving is required.”
DHA said in a press release that the planned approach will focus on three primary areas, including: patient experience; provider supported technology in the health ecosystem; and data management support.
To modernize the MHS and make it more patient-centered, the solicitation notice said the desired commercial solution “is a ‘digital front door’ that successfully integrates with or replaces our current architecture, is data centric and platform agnostic and is capable of rapid adaptation.”
