MHS GENESIS goes live this fall at Lyster

On September 24, 2022 the Department of Defense’s new Electronic Health Record (EHR), MHS GENESIS, will launch at Lyster Army Health Clinic and Brown Dental Clinic at Fort Rucker. “We are very fortunate to be part of such an instrumental change that will be able to enhance and standardize how we provide care on a daily basis. The MHS GENESIS Patient Portal, replacing Tricare Online (TOL), is going to be the biggest change that beneficiaries will actually see firsthand. It will offer the same functionality as TOL but will have automatic registration and more sign in options,” explained Maj. Douglas Kuhlman, Deputy Commander of Administration at Lyster.
