When it comes to living up to the agency’s five core values: justice, duty, courage, honesty and loyalty, our U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers and employees give their all every day. To those five values, let’s for a moment add two words: selfless commitment. Then imagine for a moment that you’ve just been involved in a head-on accident. You and your baby are trapped inside the vehicle, you’re scared and alone. You’d be lucky if professional help arrived in scant minutes.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has transformed the detainee health recordkeeping system into one of the largest and most robust medical systems in the federal government.
An ICE Electronic Health Records integrated project team accomplished this feat by replacing multiple stand-alone legacy systems and paper-based files with a highly-automated electronic health record (eHR) system in which information on medical treatment is provided for detainees in ICE custody.
