What functionality is AHLTA forecasted to replace in the CHCS?

AHLTA, which stands for Armed Forces Health Longitudinal Technology Application, is designed to enhance and modernize the electronic health record management for military healthcare providers. One of its key functionalities is to streamline and improve the efficiency of scheduling appointments for patients. By replacing specific aspects of the Composite Health Care System (CHCS), AHLTA aims to provide a more user-friendly interface and integrated methods for managing patient appointments.

While patient billing, emergency care management, and in-patient meal planning are important areas of healthcare management, they are not the primary focus of AHLTA's role in replacing functionalities within the CHCS system. AHLTA is particularly noted for its advancements in handling patient records, facilitating appointment scheduling, and enhancing the overall patient care process within military health facilities.
