The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) My HealtheVet (MHV) program is a complex, high visibility program in the Initiative 7: New Models of Care Initiative in the VA Office of Information Technology (OIT). The program provides a web-based application for Veterans, their families, and care providers to access health resources in an online environment. It improves Veteran health care by providing easy access to health information, online resources, and facilitates patient/health care provider interactions. MHV gives the Veteran access to VA benefits, special programs, and health information and services. It also provides the Veteran web-based tools to increase their knowledge about health conditions, manage their health records, and communicate with health care providers. Veterans now have the ability to take a more proactive approach to managing their health and utilizing VA health services and benefits.

The goals of the My HealtheVet (MHV) Phase 3 - Veteran-Facing Enhancements (MHV VFE) Project are to provide Veterans with electronic access to their health records; ReDesign the My HealtheVet (MHV) user interface; deliver enhancements to MHV’s Rx Refill capabilities; and enhance MHV’s Secure Message (SM) capabilities.
