Digital transformation integrates digital technologies, data analytics, and innovative processes into healthcare delivery. This results in improved quality, efficiency, and accessibility of medical services. Technology and innovation continue to reshape the activities of the Military Health System.
In a rapidly changing digital ecosystem, we must remain agile. The MHS Digital Health Transformation Strategy is our roadmap to an integrated healthcare system. Our strategy enhances the joint medical capabilities needed to support the national defense, military, and MHS strategies.
Over the past six years, the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs has worked to identify the necessary actions to enable advances and adoption of AI and machine learning across military medicine, while ensuring robust strategy, policies, governance, and safeguards are in place.
The MHS Digital Policy Council works to keep our strategy dynamic and responsive to:
- Guide the OASD HA priorities.
- Share innovation across the MHS.
- Provide overall governance and policies.
The council serves as an integrator, overseeing the safe, secure, and trustworthy development of AI within health care, and effective data management and analysis capabilities. The integration of digital health offers opportunities to:
- Increase operational readiness
- Improve clinical outcomes
- Revolutionize medical education
- Enhance quality and safety
- Reduce risks
