EHR system MHS Genesis will go live at Lyster Army Health Clinic and Brown Dental Clinic at Fort Rucker in Dale County, Ala., on Sept. 27, according to Sept. 8 reporting in The Enterprise Ledger.
MHS Genesis is an EHR system for service members, veterans and their families. Lyster Clinic and Brown Clinic are letting patients know of potentially increased wait times due to the implementation of the new system.
"We are very fortunate to be part of such an instrumental change that will be able to enhance and standardize how we provide care on a daily basis. The MHS Genesis Patient Portal, replacing Tricare Online, is going to be the biggest change that beneficiaries will actually see firsthand. It will offer the same functionality as Tricare Online but will have automatic registration and more sign in options," said Maj. Douglas Kuhlman, deputy commander of administration at Lyster.
