T6 Health Systems Secures Multi-Year Defense Health Agency Agreement to Modernize Operational Medicine Platform
T6 Health Systems announced today that it has entered into a major, multi-year agreement with the Defense Health Agency (DHA), awarded through the Program Executive Office for Defense Healthcare Management Systems (PEO DHMS). Under this agreement, T6 will deploy, enhance, and provide long-term support for the Operational Medicine Care Delivery Platform (OpMed CDP), a next-generation solution designed to modernize the way medical care is delivered, documented, and coordinated for U.S. military personnel operating around the world.
The award represents a substantial step forward in the Department of War’s ongoing efforts to advance a fully integrated, secure, and agile healthcare delivery ecosystem capable of supporting the diverse medical needs of deployed service members in even the most challenging environments. As global conflicts evolve, operational tempos increase, and medical teams are required to work across dispersed and unpredictable environments, the need for digitally connected, interoperable, and resilient clinical systems has become a strategic and operational priority.
A Major Leap in Digital Modernization for Military Medical Operations
The OpMed CDP initiative will modernize how the Defense Health Agency manages, records, and shares health information for operational forces by replacing legacy, siloed, and often manually intensive systems with a unified, cloud-enabled platform. This modern platform emphasizes secure data exchange, real-time clinical documentation, and seamless interoperability with the wider Military Health System (MHS), including alignment with MHS Genesis—the Department of Defense’s enterprise electronic health record (EHR) system.
T6 Health Systems’ OpMed CDP solution is built upon the company’s commercial off-the-shelf Unified Logistics and Treatment Record Architecture (ULTRA). ULTRA allows for scalable, modular, and mission-ready technology that supports medical teams in varied operational contexts—from austere frontline environments to advanced theater hospitals, maritime operations, and aeromedical evacuation missions. The architecture ensures that medical personnel have continuous access to accurate, synchronized clinical data regardless of location, connectivity constraints, or deployment duration.
This modernization project aims not only to streamline clinical workflows but also to ensure long-term continuity of care. By guaranteeing clinical data remains intact and accessible across operational theaters and into the garrison healthcare environment, military medical teams will be better equipped to make informed, timely decisions that directly impact patient outcomes.
Transforming Operational Medicine Through Interoperability and Cybersecurity
One of the central goals of the OpMed CDP initiative is to unify fragmented operational medicine systems into a single, integrated platform. For decades, military medical teams have relied on different systems depending on service branch, operational setting, or even individual mission requirements. These inconsistencies created obstacles in data standardization, clinical reporting, medical logistics, and decision-making.
With OpMed CDP, these challenges will be addressed through a robust technological backbone that supports secure, end-to-end data synchronization. The platform’s cloud-enabled design ensures that medical teams can document care and access patient information even when traditional communication networks are limited or disrupted. Once connectivity is restored, data is automatically synchronized, maintaining accuracy and continuity without requiring manual workarounds.
Cybersecurity is another defining pillar of the system. The platform includes enterprise-grade security protocols, encryption standards, and authentication layers designed to meet stringent Defense Department requirements. With cyber threats escalating globally, the Department of War has emphasized the importance of securing medical data—especially for deployed personnel whose health information may be sensitive or mission-critical. OpMed CDP’s security-centric architecture ensures that all data exchanged across operational and garrison environments maintains confidentiality and integrity.
Leadership Perspectives on the Strategic Impact
Igor Muravyov, Chief Operating Officer at T6 Health Systems, emphasized the significance of this award and the long-term value it brings to the Defense Health Agency’s modernization efforts.
“This award reflects the Department of War’s commitment to modernizing the digital backbone of operational medicine,” Muravyov said. “Through our OpMed CDP platform, we’re giving operational medical teams the improved technology to maintain health readiness and to deliver accurate, connected, and life-saving care. OpMed CDP will enhance capability in any environment across the spectrum of healthcare—from small ground units and maritime operations to theater hospitals both afloat and ashore, including aeromedical evacuation.”
Muravyov highlighted that operational medicine, unlike civilian healthcare, demands extreme flexibility. Medical teams often operate in remote, hostile, or resource-constrained environments where traditional health IT systems cannot function reliably. OpMed CDP is engineered specifically for these unpredictable conditions, ensuring providers can document, assess, and communicate critical medical information without interruption.
“Operational medicine requires speed, accuracy, and resilience,” Muravyov added. “Our platform was designed with those realities in mind. By integrating clinical documentation, health data analytics, logistics support, and data synchronization into one secure system, OpMed CDP will be a foundational aspect of the Defense Health Agency’s advancement into a new era of precision and efficiency in military healthcare.”
Scope of Work and Multi-Year Commitment
Under the terms of the agreement, T6 Health Systems will deliver a comprehensive suite of capabilities and long-term support mechanisms through the year 2030. Key elements of the commitment include:
- Provision of commercial software licenses for the OpMed CDP platform and related ULTRA components.
- System integration services ensuring interconnectivity with existing DHA and MHS digital ecosystems.
- Comprehensive testing and validation, ensuring operational reliability, cybersecurity alignment, and mission-ready performance.
- Ongoing capability enhancements, allowing the platform to evolve with emerging technologies, threat landscapes, and operational requirements.
- Support for future modernization initiatives, ensuring the system remains scalable and adaptable for new mission sets, expanded operational theaters, and evolving healthcare technologies.
This long-term commitment positions OpMed CDP as a cornerstone technology for the Department of War’s digital health transformation strategy. By 2030, the platform is expected to serve as an integrated, enterprise-level operational medicine solution capable of supporting the full lifecycle of care for deployed service members.
Advancing Readiness and Improving Outcomes for Deployed Forces
The ultimate objective of the OpMed CDP initiative is to strengthen military readiness by ensuring that deployed medical teams have access to the tools they need to provide timely, coordinated, and high-quality care. With real-time data sharing and integrated analytics, commanders and medical leaders can gain deeper insights into force health trends, casualty management, medical evacuation patterns, and resource utilization.
These insights not only improve immediate clinical care but also contribute to long-term strategic planning, preventive medicine, and readiness assessments. By implementing a unified digital ecosystem, the Defense Health Agency will be better equipped to track medical outcomes across theaters, improve training pipelines, and ensure that both clinical teams and deployed personnel receive the highest standard of healthcare support.
