System: AHLTA
AHLTA
formerly known as Composite Health Care System II (CHCS II)
AHLTA is the medical and dental clinical information system that
will generate and maintain a comprehensive, life-long, computer-based patient record (CPR)
of all preventive care rendered to, and all illnesses and injuries treated for,
each Military Health System (MHS) beneficiary.
AHLTA was designed to meet the challenge of making medical and dental records immediately available to providers
caring for a highly mobile population that includes 1.4 million active duty Armed Service members around the world.
The system provides authorized users with secure electronic access to a Department of Defense (DoD) beneficiary's
comprehensive health record, which includes data on preventative care, illnesses, injuries, and exposures treated at
any military treatment facility (MTF). All AHLTA users will have access to any eligible beneficiary's medical/dental
record within seconds from any MTF in the world.
