Investment Detail
A new, common EHR system will provide a single, accurate, lifetime health record for the Veteran, while resulting in improved patient care and safety. The new EHR solution will also integrate modern functionality and infrastructure into a simple experience with fewer products so that VA s EHR system will be able to operate seamlessly with healthcare facilities outside of the VA network. Moreover, the adoption of a product used by both VA and DoD will help to simplify health care delivery for patients and clinical providers while on active duty or as a Veteran. This single information and data model will reduce/eliminate the need for middleware, data domain mapping and highly complex and very expensive data aggregation and transformation technologies between DoD and VA.
