The Department of Defense is increasing the ceiling for its electronic health record modernization contract with prime contractor Leidos by nearly $1.2 billion.
The additional funds are meant to accommodate additional services and capabilities necessary to maintain a standard EHR baseline with the Department of Veterans Affairs and U.S. Coast Guard.
DoD awarded a $4.3 billion contract to Leidos in 2015 to provide a commercial-off-the-shelf Cerner EHR system—called MHS GENESIS—to be deployed worldwide to support healthcare delivery for 9.4 million beneficiaries.
