Fort Irwin’s hospital has changes
in the medical record system By Maj. Ernestina dela Pena
October’s DES Tips Lt. Col. Jackson
DES Director
1. Please get to know your neighbors. Take an evening stroll and say hello to folks (friendly, attentive neighbors, who lock their doors, make thieves uncomfortable).
2. Register your firearms at the MP station, and keep them locked up, when they are not in use.
3. Days are getting short- er. Drivers should inspect vehicle lights prior to opera- tion.
4. The end of the month is coming. Drivers should check license plates, proof of insurance and vehicle regis-
tration documents to ensure everything is current.
5. Friendly reminder: drugs (including marijuana) are illegal on Fort Irwin.
6. Vehicles that are not registered, and appear to be abandoned, will be marked and towed.
Weed Army Community Hospital
FORT IRWIN, Calif. — The hospital management and administration is transferring to the Defense Health Agency. The goal at Weed Army Community Hospital and the De- fense Health Agency is to deliver the highest quality of care and enhance your healthcare experience.
The Military Health System (MHS) is embarking on a new chapter, of unprecedented reform. The MHS is using new tools to position the enterprise for a successful future on and off the battlefield. One such tool is MHS GENESIS, the new electronic health record (EHR). MHS GENESIS integrates all aspects of care in the MHS, and is integral in the provision and coordination of safe, quality care. It connects medical and dental information across the continuum of care, whether on the battlefield or at home in the military hospital. Because our service members and families deserve the best care, it empowers the military health enterprise, enabling the MHS to be a high-reliability organization. When fully deployed, MHS GENESIS will provide a single health record for service members, veterans, and their families.
As a beneficiary you can expect:
• The Military Health System will continue to deliver trusted care
• Your doctor and other medical professionals who provide your care today will continue to do so in the future
• Your medical coverage plan coverage will remain the same Learn more at https://health.mil/MHSTransformation Learn more at https://www.health.mil/Military-Health-
