VHIE SUPPORT TRANSITION to JHIE
As part of our comprehensive support, JPSys contributed to a range of mission-critical initiatives that underpin the modern VHIE ecosystem which extends to community partners and Oracle Health.
VHIE Support Transition
Team JPSys played a pivotal role in leading the strategic and technical efforts required to transition the Veterans Health Information Exchange (VHIE) from its legacy health information exchange (HIE) adapter system to more modern, scalable, and interoperable platforms. This transition included migration to the Veterans Data Integration and Federal Enterprise Platform (VDIF-EP) and integration with the Department of Defense/Veterans Affairs Joint Health Information Exchange (DoD/VA JHIE). This move marked a major improvement in how the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) shares health information. It enhanced care quality, data access, and timeliness by enabling seamless, secure exchanges with both federal and private-sector partners.
These included support for the Joint Information Network for Health Informatics, where we contributed to architecture design and data integration strategies that ensure reliability and compliance with evolving health IT standards. Our team also provided specialized support in healthcare IT data architecture. We emphasized secure, structured data interoperability aligned with HL7 Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) standards.
This support helped systems work together and improved data consistency across care providers.
Team JPSys led the transition of VHIE from its legacy adapter to the Veterans Data Integration and Federal Enterprise Platform (VDIF-EP). We managed the migration to the DoD/VA Joint Health Information Exchange (JHIE) platform.
In addition, JPSys supported vaccination data reporting initiatives and contributed to the implementation and optimization of the Direct Secure Email (DSE) program. These services were essential in supporting secure, encrypted communication between the VA and community care providers.
They ensured Veteran health data could be exchanged quickly and safely.
We continue to provide support for the VHIE office and its extensive network of community care partners. Using a standards-based exchange model, we help external providers securely send and receive Veteran health records with the VA. This work improves care coordination and supports the VA’s mission to deliver high-quality, integrated healthcare to Veterans.
