Who We Are

In 2010, HRG was jointly commissioned by the Department of Defense (DoD) and the Veterans Administration (VA) to develop a prototype of an application that would enable clinicians in their agency’s Electronic Health Record System to view a patient medical records in the other agency’s system. The prototype of Joint Longitudinal Viewer (JLV) was successful and led to the enterprise-wide deployment of JLV by both the DoD and VA. The DoD and VA have cited JLV as their solution to meet the Presidential and Congressional mandates to achieve medical record interoperability between the DoD and VA. Since 2011 through to the present, HRG architected, developed, enhanced and sustained JLV for the DoD and VA.

HRG Technologies LLC (HRG) evolved from the IT Services Division of Hawaii Resource Group LLC, a Native Hawaiian Owned 8(a) company.

HRG is comprised of a dedicated expert team of IT professionals with proven capability. HRG leaders focus on ensuring that HRG provides the right resources at the right time and agile and effective execution of its missions.
