Primary Electronic Health Record System
Fort Defiance Indian Hospital (FDIHB) utilizes the "Personal Health Records (PHR)" as its patient portal. This portal is provided by The Indian Health Service (IHS) and allows patients to access their health information from any IHS facility across the country. While a news report from 2015 indicated that EPOWERdoc's platform was the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) of choice for Fort Defiance Indian Hospital, newer information suggests that FDIHB operates within a standardized Electronic Health Record (EHR) system used across IHS facilities. This IHS-wide EHR system began implementation in federally operated facilities in 2004 and is based on a platform similar to that used by the Veterans Health Administration. The mention of "Electronic Health Record (EHR) and RPMS" in a job description at FDIHB suggests that the Resource Patient Management System (RPMS), a long-standing data system used by IHS, may also be part of their current electronic health record infrastructure. Therefore, Fort Defiance Indian Hospital's patient portal is branded as Personal Health Records (PHR) and is part of the Indian Health Service's nationwide health information system. The underlying EHR system is a standardized IHS system, which may include components of RPMS, though a direct confirmation of EPOWERdoc's continued and comprehensive use across the entire hospital and its connection to the PHR was not explicitly found in the latest search results.
