The Defense Health Agency (DHA) plays a central role in the Military Health System (MHS), ensuring that service members, Veterans, and their families receive world-class health care. With DHA modernization efforts accelerating — from DHA digital modernization of core systems to Military Health System transformation — mission success requires a DHA modernization partner who understands defense health priorities, can drive operational efficiency, and knows how to navigate complex adoption challenges.

Current priorities for DHA leadership include:

• DHA digital modernization to improve interoperability, enhance cybersecurity, and optimize clinical and administrative systems.
• Military Health System transformation focused on readiness, quality of care, and efficient resource utilization.
• DHA workforce transformation to equip teams for evolving health care delivery and technology demands.

These goals align with the Federal Health IT Strategic Plan and the Department of Defense’s broader push for performance improvement, technology ROI, and adoption strategy across mission-critical programs.

In DHA procurement, SDVOSB DHA contracts and WOSB DHA contracts remain important for meeting small business goals, but awards increasingly go to vendors who can deliver:

• Proven DHA operational efficiency frameworks.
• DHA change management approaches that ensure transformation adoption.
• DHA performance improvement tied directly to measurable health outcomes.

Emerald One’s joint venture with SDVOSB strategic partners gives DHA access to both set-aside flexibility and deep expertise in defense health IT strategy, modernization, and workforce enablement.

We partner with DHA to:

• Drive DHA workforce transformation, building leadership pipelines and enabling continuous learning.
• Guide DHA digital modernization efforts to reduce risk, improve adoption, and accelerate mission results.
• Implement DHA operational efficiency strategies that reduce waste and improve resource allocation.
• Apply AI-backed coaching tools to strengthen adoption strategy and help teams adapt quickly to change.
• Engage directly through the DHA Industry Partnership Network to align innovations with agency needs.

Our approach balances compliance with forward-thinking solutions that sustain results long after project close.

DHA modernization and Military Health System transformation demand a partner who can work seamlessly across clinical, administrative, and technology domains. Emerald One brings DHA change management expertise, DHA adoption strategy, and a track record of delivering operational efficiency for DHA programs.
