When the new EHR launches, VA clinicians and administrative staff at the Spokane, Wash.-based facility will be able to access, verify and update patient information directly within the EHR rather than using multiple systems. The patient data includes medications, past medical procedures, ongoing health concerns and demographic details such as address, phone number and email.
VA is under a $16 billion contract with Cerner to develop and deploy its EHR system. With its go-live planned for Oct. 24, Mann-Grandstaff VA Medical Center is the first facility to deploy the new system, which the department plans to roll out until it is in place at all VA facilities across the U.S. by 2028.
