The Department of Defense’s Electronic Health Record (EHR) is an enterprise‐wide clinical information management system that provides secure online access to active duty Service members, retirees and their beneficiaries’ health care records.
This EHR is used by the military’s medical community to capture, manage and share data on care provided in garrison and on the battlefield, as well as share pertinent health information with the Department Veteran’s Affairs.
The development of the military's EHR is directly related to a presidential directive issued in 1997 that focused on and reinforced the need for a centralized, longitudinal patient record. This prompted the deployment of the of the theater environment information management solution, the Theater Medical Information Program, in 2003 followed by the worldwide implementation of the global system, AHLTA in 2004. In 2007, deployment of the military’s inpatient care documentation solution began. Today, the military’s EHR is used by more than 100,000 medical clinicians at military hospitals and clinics worldwide.

Policy
This Defense Health Agency-Procedural Instruction (DHA-PI), establishes the Defense Health Agency’s (DHA) procedures to remove erroneously entered information in the EHRs. In general, these procedures should be limited to Personally Identifiable Information (PII) or Protected Health Information (PHI) pertaining to one person or persons, but entered inadvertently into the record of a different person. These procedures may also be applied to other information (e.g., incorrect adverse diagnosis), as deemed necessary after appropriate review. All efforts to correct documentation errors at the user level should be expended prior to requesting a correction. Patient-initiated requests to correct the EHR must be completed within 60 days of the request being received by the covered entity (the Military Medical Treatment Facility (MTF)), or 90 days if applicable extension requirements are met.
