"Under Collins' leadership, VA has made resuming successful deployments of the modernized EHR system a top priority. During a Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee hearing in January, Collins told lawmakers 'you have every right to be skeptical' about the success of the upcoming deployments, but added that 'all I can tell you right now is, unlike anything in the past, I have set my eyes and focus on getting this done, because I knew it's where we needed to be.'"
"VA first signed a $10 billion contract - later revised to over $16 billion - with Cerner in May 2018 to modernize its EHR system. Oracle acquired Cerner."
The Department of Veterans Affairs has restarted the deployment of its Oracle Health electronic health record system at four medical facilities in Michigan. This marks the end of a yearslong operational pause due to technical and usability concerns. Initially, the VA had implemented the system at only five of its 170 facilities. Under Secretary Doug Collins, the agency prioritized successful deployments, planning to expand the rollout to 13 sites by 2026. Despite these efforts, some lawmakers remain skeptical about the project's future and rising costs.
