Congress recently passed its appropriations act, which doled out money to the different branches of federal government for the 2012 fiscal year, and roughly $1.4 billion was allocated for military health IT, according to a Nextgov report.
Within that budget, the Military Health System requested $86.5 million for research and $4.6 million for operational costs of EHR Way Ahead, its "next-generation" electronic health record, according to the report.
