Abstract:

The goal of CHCS is to improve the care of patients at Defense medical treatment facilities. The system is supposed to provide comprehensive, integrated data for patient management and treatment in a timely and easily accessible manner. Defense expects the degree of CHCS data integration to be greater than currently available in civilian hospital information systems. Once fully deployed, CHCS would replace manual and outdated automated information systems now in use.
