The U.S. Coast Guard has announced plans to field the same electronic health record system that the Defense Department currently adopts, Healthcare IT News reported Tuesday.
A FedBizOpps notice posted Monday says the Defense Health Agency plans to execute a contract modification in order to incorporate the Coast Guard into a potential 10-year, $4.3 billion contract awarded in July 2015 to field the MHS Genesis EHR system.
DoD awarded the contract to a team of Leidos (NYSE: LDOS), Cerner (Nasdaq: CERN) and Accenture (NYSE: ACN) to field the commercial EHR platform.
Rear Adm. Michael Johnston, USCG director of acquisition programs, said the service will integrate its EHR system deployment into the Pentagon™s platform rollout schedule.
œOur assessment is that our requirements are nearly 100 percent the same as DoD™s¦ We™ll pay for the services that we get, and we™ll partner with DoD to clarify how that best works in their strategy, Johnston noted.
The presolicitation notice said USCG™s deputy commandant for mission support officially requested on March 22 to field the MHS Genesis system and that the contract™s expanded scope would result in a change to the contract ceiling without causing any modification to the performance period.
