Trilogy provides full-range program and project management, analytics, research, requirements management, and training support to the Veteran’s Health Administration (VHA) Office of Connected Care (OCC) Veterans/Consumers Health Informatics (V/CHIO) program office, the business unit that owns the My HealtheVet website. With over 4.7M users, MHV was designed for Veterans, active-duty Service members, and their dependents and caregivers, to provide a web‐based Personal Health Record (PHR) to self‐monitor care, access health records on‐demand, make informed health care decisions, and securely communicate with VA care teams.
Approach

We facilitate approximately 17 meetings per week and provide strategic planning white papers and best practice research reports for OCC and executive leadership.
