In 2017, the Department of Defense (DOD) went live with MHS GENESIS, a commercial off the shelf electronic health record to replace CHCS, AHLTA, and Essentris. The replacement system provides both an inpatient and outpatient pharmacy module and will include new technologies for the DOD, such as inventory management, barcode medication administration, and controlled substance electronic-prescribing. This presentation will discuss the current state of implementation across the MHS and other federal agencies, the improvements since the initial go-live, and the future state of the MHS GENESIS project.

Learning Objectives:

Describe the status of implementation of MHS GENESIS Pharmacy solutions across several Military Treatment Facilities (MTFs), US Coast Guard, and U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
Describe the MHS GENESIS enhancements since the first year and the roadmap of the future.
Describe how MHS GENESIS impacts enterprise standardization of pharmacy processes and policies.
