Health missions

Software and data for the agencies that care for veterans and service members.

Custom software, interoperability and secure data platforms first, with the research and clinical judgment built on them, for VA, the Defense Health Agency, DoD medical research, NIH and the agencies that share their mission.

VA

Department of Veterans Affairs

VA runs the country's largest integrated health care system, buys care for veterans from community providers, and funds its own research program. Its record systems span VistA and the federal electronic health record it is moving to, shared with DoD.

541511Primary541512518210541715541720541690621112

Where we fit

  • Interfaces between VistA, the federal EHR and the systems that read them, built on FHIR R4 and HL7 v2
  • Community care data: referrals, authorizations and claims, reconciled and checked for integrity
  • Measurement-based care registries and clinical decision support for VHA care teams
  • Data pipelines and analysis environments for VA research and quality reporting
  • Physician-led medical evaluation and screening

DHA

Defense Health Agency and the Military Health System

DHA runs the Military Health System's hospitals and clinics and the TRICARE health plan for service members, retirees and their families, on MHS GENESIS, the system's electronic health record.

541511Primary541512518210541720541690621112

Where we fit

  • Data products on MHS GENESIS exports, mapped to standard terminologies and checked at every step
  • TRICARE and purchased-care claims analytics: utilization, cost and provider integrity
  • Readiness and mental health measurement tools, from registry to dashboard
  • Secure hosting and data processing designed to DoD security controls
  • Clinical services and advisory for military medicine programs

DoD research

DoD medical research

The Department of Defense funds medical research through the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs, the Army's medical research command and the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences.

541511Primary518210541715541714541690

Where we fit

  • Study software: data capture, cohort and outcome definitions, reproducible analysis pipelines
  • Research data platforms that keep sensitive datasets inside governed boundaries
  • Analysis for funded studies, with intervals, sensitivity analyses and calibration reported
  • Data systems and analysis for biomedical and biotechnology research programs
  • Protocol design and principal-investigator support

NIH

National Institutes of Health

NIH's 27 institutes and centers fund the nation's biomedical and behavioral research, including the SBIR and STTR programs for small businesses.

541511Primary541512518210541715541720541714541690

Where we fit

  • SBIR and STTR research software, carried from prototype to a tested, documented tool
  • Research data infrastructure: registries, de-identification and analysis environments
  • Secondary-data studies and health services research on existing data
  • Data systems and analysis for biomedical and biotechnology research programs
  • Scientific consulting on study design and outcome measures

Aligned agencies

Agencies that share the mission

The joint VA–DoD office for the federal electronic health record, the Indian Health Service, CDC, AHRQ and ARPA-H work on shared records, overlapping populations and the same research questions.

541511Primary541512518210541715541720541690

Where we fit

  • Electronic health record interoperability for the shared federal record and its partners
  • Public health data modernization: surveillance pipelines and the systems that feed them
  • Health services research and quality measurement
  • Applied research software for advanced health programs

Coverage

Every code we hold, against every agency.

The NAICS codes on the firm's SAM registration, software and IT first. A mark means the code covers work this page names for that agency.

Trust architecture

Compliance, designed in.

The regulatory frame is part of the system design, not an obstacle to it.

HIPAA
Privacy by design. De-identification, minimum-necessary access, and audit trails built into every data flow.
NIST SP 800-171
Controls as code. Security controls implemented as code with evidence collected automatically, so accreditation is not a retrofit.
Section 508
Accessible by default. WCAG 2.2 AA conformance designed in and tested with assistive technology.
42 CFR Part 2
Part 2–protected records segmented and consented where a mission requires it.
IRB & data use
Human-subjects governance and data-use agreements for research on data agencies already hold.
