General Dynamics Information Technology, a business unit of General Dynamics, has signed a letter of intent to collaborate with McKesson Provider Technologies to offer an EHR to the Department of Defense (DoD). The EHR can be used by each branch of military service to maintain a centralized record for medical beneficiaries.

McKesson Provider Technologies is part of McKesson, a healthcare services and IT company and a provider of commercial EHR, patient/physician connectivity and health information exchange (HIE) products.

General Dynamics plans to leverage its systems integration expertise and DoD medical IT knowledge to develop a consolidated technology for DoD healthcare providers. The companies can deploy, sustain and support distinct EHRs for dispersed personnel.
