Doug Collins, President Trump's nominee for the Department of Veterans Affairs, emphasized the need to tackle the issues surrounding the VA's electronic health record (EHR) system during a Senate committee hearing. He acknowledged the troubled rollout of the Oracle Cerner software, which has faced multiple challenges since its initial deployment in 2020, including technical issues and cost overruns. Collins is determined to pursue a fresh approach to ensure the EHR system meets veterans' needs and can be effectively integrated with the Department of Defense's systems.
During my time, I will ensure we adopt a new EHR system that works efficiently and meets our veterans' needs without unnecessary delays or costs.
There's no reason in the world we cannot get this done, but it requires dedicated commitment from every level within the VA.
Collection
