The Department of Veterans Affairs plans to resume its new electronic health record system deployments at 13 medical facilities next year, following previous delays and concerns. A recent report by the Government Accountability Office highlighted the need for VA to create a comprehensive cost estimate and schedule, reflecting the time lost during operational pauses since April 2023. Despite some incremental advancements in the system initially launched in 2020, significant challenges persist, calling into question the investment's overall viability and functionality.
Given the pause, the volume and complexity of user-driven priority projects, other delays, and continuing issues, an updated cost estimate is essential to understanding the magnitude of VA's investment.
VA is making incremental improvements to the new electronic health record system but much more remains to be done.
