VA accelerates electronic health record rollout
The Department of Veterans Affairs has accelerated its electronic health record program after years of delays. A new goal has been set to deploy the system across all VA medical centers by 2031. The VA has implemented changes to improve the rollout, including a governance overhaul.
This has allowed the department to move forward more quickly and consistently. Further details on the progress of the electronic health record rollout are available from the VA, including information on current deployment sites and system performance. The VA reports that the system is currently live at several sites and supporting care for thousands of veterans.
