IHS Health IT Modernization Program

The Health Information Technology (IT) Modernization Program partners with tribal and urban organizations to deliver a new electronic health record (EHR), PATH EHR, designed to support high-quality care across Indian Country.

PATH EHR keeps "patients at the heart". This modern system makes it easier for care teams to coordinate services, share critical records between clinics, and connect securely with outside health care providers when needed.

Benefits of PATH EHR:

• Simple, user-friendly tools that save time for patients and clinic staff.
• Timely support from a nationwide team of technical experts.
• Secure backups that protect records so care continues during emergencies.
• Reliable cloud systems that keep daily clinic operations running smoothly.
• Quick access to medical records across different facilities without using paper files.

With our pilot site now live at the Lawton Service Unit, we are actively stabilizing the system and supporting clinical teams. A national rollout takes time and steady effort, and we will continue to partner closely with communities every step of the way.
