"Wednesday's management advisory memorandum from VA's Office of Inspector General reviewed how the agency and Oracle Health were following interface testing procedures at the Captain James A. Lovell Federal Health Care Center in North Chicago, Illinois. VA and the Department of Defense officially announced the launch of the new EHR system at the Chicago medical center in March 2024. VA's software is designed to be interoperable with the Pentagon's similar Oracle Health system."
""For example, the required repository for recording problems identified in testing did not show testing had been done before the healthcare center went live with the Financial Management System interface, which bridges the EHR system and VA's payment and billing system," OIG said in its report summary. "Testing was delayed by a cyberattack, and results were recorded in another system.""
VA's Office of Inspector General reviewed interface testing at the Captain James A. Lovell Federal Health Care Center for the agency's modernized electronic health record and its interoperability with the Department of Defense's Oracle Health system. VA and the Department of Defense launched the new EHR at the Chicago medical center in March 2024. The OIG found that VA and Oracle Health conducted required tests and retests but did not adequately document results. A February 2024 ransomware attack on Change Healthcare delayed testing and led to some results being recorded in an alternate system. Interface testing ensures secure information sharing between the EHR, VA legacy systems, and payment systems.
