The project’s lead contractor, Leidos, said it expects the EHR, dubbed MHS Genesis, to be fully deployed by 2023. The latest wave of centers and new users brings the total to 20,000 clinicians and providers and 20 facilities across the Military Health Service live on the platform, according to a March 4 news release.

The DOD is implementing the same Cerner technology that the Department of Veteran Affairs is currently rolling out. Once complete, the two systems will be interoperable.
