Description
The Defense Health Agency (DHA) is seeking information from industry regarding solutions, approaches, and best practices for deploying a secure, scalable, and vendor-neutral enterprise Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) for dental imaging. The goal is to modernize and standardize the capture, storage, retrieval, display, and sharing of all dental imaging data across the global DHA network, ensuring seamless integration with the Military Health System (MHS) GENESIS Electronic Health Record (EHR) and support a full spectrum of dental services, including veterinary care.
Some key features and requirements of the system include:
• Universal compatibility with a wide array of dental imaging hardware from multiple vendors
• Operational resilience in bandwidth-constrained and fully disconnected environments
• Secure and compliant storage of dental images
• Comprehensive workflow support for diverse clinical workflows
• Seamless integration with MHS GENESIS and the Enterprise Clinical Imaging Archive (ECIA)
• Cybersecurity compliance with Department of War (DoW) cybersecurity and data handling requirements
• Global scalability to support all dental providers across CONUS and OCONUS sites
• Centralized management and support for a globally distributed system
The DHA seeks information on commercial solutions capable of delivering these capabilities at scale while meeting the rigorous cybersecurity, interoperability, and operational demands of the DoW environment.
