Harris is working with Evolvent Technologies, an e-business solutions and services provider, to develop and implement the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) Military Health System's global Healthcare Artifact and Image Management Solution (HAIMS). Harris and Evolvent Technologies, Inc., as part of the Defense Systems Integration, Design, Development, Operations and Maintenance Services III contract vehicle, are providing program management, software design, systems development, and test and evaluation expertise for the web-based HAIMS solution for the DoD Military Health System. The program also enables seamless access for beneficiaries supported by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

HAIMS is a next generation approach to global military healthcare delivery and a defining step toward the new the new Military Health System (MHS) enterprise architecture. This breakthrough approach will help save lives and improve care for our wounded warriors, veterans and their families over the full continuum of care.

Over the past several years, the MHS has managed more than 750,000 in-theater medical encounters. The lack of ready access to wounded-warrior artifact and image information over the course of treatment and recovery has posed a challenge to MHS providers. The HAIMS solution will enable the DoD and the VA to share health artifact and image information whenever and wherever needed, from the theater all the way back to the clinic. The term 'artifacts' refers to any type of captured image other than diagnostic medical imagery. This includes electronic scans of paper medical records, photographs, and handwritten clinician notes, as well as electronic attachments from files or images and other documents related to patient care.
