Why do it matter
Nine additional VA facilities will be announced later in 2025 after the VA e -record update office meets with regional and local medical leaders, VA doctors and EHR and Oracle Health.
The Minister of the Ministry of Affairs of the Veterans Doug Collins stressed the need to move faster to integrate the medical records of the old warriors through the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Defense in advertisement.
The VA’s EHR update project was recently suspended in April 2023, but in December, the agency announced that the old warriors and the doctors’ consent in the system justify this Restart on publishing operations in four Michigan VA facilities Ann Arbur, Battle Kreik, Detroit and Sagino.
“We can move faster on this important priority,” he said. “But we will listen to our doctors, nurses, and sellers partners along the way to ensure the safety of patients, quality and customer service.”
By following a market -based approach to the additional site options, the Ministry of Affairs of the Veterans Affairs said it could increase the number of simultaneous publishing operations.
The biggest direction

This step can help enable the section Expand the number of simultaneous publishing operationsShe promised, according to her testimony on February 19.
She said, “The Oracle Cloud infrastructure has been built with its basis for expansion and security.” “The transfer of the Federal Pocket to OCI is ongoing.”
Verma said that the first stage will be completed that year and the company expects the full deportation of the EHR to the cloud that will be completed next year.
“Oracle adhered to make this step to OCI at our expense.”
Meanwhile, the Government Accountability Office has issued a new report on a new project that added three new recommendations for estimating cost, scheduling and system scales, making its total recommendations to improve EHR from VA to 18.
The government accounting office said that the Ministry of Old Warriors Affairs had implemented one recommendation since 2020.
“We have multiple recommendations that VA still must implement to improve [EHR] system.”
Although the Ministry of Old Warriors Affairs boasted more than 200 days without interruption when the program was restarted in December, Oracle Health EHR has seen a widespread interruption On March 5th in all six medical centers in VA, 26 community clinics and the remote -running VA sites.
In the record
“The old American warriors deserve a system of integrated medical records in all the components of VA and DOD, and this is exactly what we will offer,” said the Minister of the Ministry of Affairs of the Veterans Doug Collins in a statement. “We can move faster in this important priority. But we will listen to our doctors, nurses and sellers partners all the way to ensure the safety of patients, quality and customer service.”
