VA Aims for 2026 to Restart Oracle Cerner Electronic Health Record Implementation
January 3, 2025 - 00:14
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is setting its sights on 2026 for the relaunch of its Oracle Cerner Electronic Health Record (EHR) system. This initiative comes after the program's systemwide adoption was halted nearly three years ago due to significant safety and usability challenges that arose during its initial rollout.
The decision to pause the implementation was made to address concerns that were raised by both healthcare providers and veterans regarding the system's performance and reliability. The VA has since been working diligently to resolve these issues, ensuring that the new EHR system meets the needs of its users and enhances the quality of care provided to veterans.
As the VA prepares for this ambitious relaunch, officials are optimistic that the improvements being made will lead to a more efficient and effective healthcare delivery system. The focus remains on creating a seamless experience for veterans, ultimately aiming to enhance their overall healthcare journey.
