Evolvent wins MHS health orders

Evolvent Technologies has received seven new Military Health System (MHS) task orders for healthcare-related technology.

Evolvent, based in Falls Church, Va., will support MHS’ Defense Health Information Management System (DHIMS) program with the following technologies:

• Neurocognitive Assessment Tool (NCAT) - Evolvent plans to update the tool, which is used to determine a cognitive performance baseline, to potentially diagnose the presence of traumatic brain injury (TBI) after an exposure to concussive forces.

• Internal Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) - Evolvent will transition many of the MHS applications from the current ICD-9 code set to the ICD-10 code set.

• Medical Evaluation Board (MEB) - Evolvent will update the current system to allow for more efficient medical disposition by medical professionals who are transitioning, or potentially transitioning, active duty personnel.

• National Council for Prescription Drug Programs (NCPDP) - Evolvent is updating the current system and standards that deliver and transfer data related medications, supplies and services in the healthcare industry. The changes include updating to NCPDP D.0 and X12 version 5010 defined by the latest HIPAA administrative simplification standards.
