Federal Drive with Tom Temin show

Summary: The JEDI cloud computing contract might be the most visible IT project for the Defense Department. But a perhaps more ambitious one is the new records systems under construction at the Defense Health Agency. Recently the program office rolled out a new wave of installations at Travis Air Force Base, Idaho. For an update on this multi-year project, we spoke with Bill Tinsto, the Program Executive Officer at the Defense Healthcare Management Systems office and Air Force Major General Lee Payne is a physician and assistant director for combat support at the Defense Health Agency. The first voice you hear is Major General Payne.
