The resumption of the Oracle Health implementation at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs has so far been “phenomenal,” the agency’s secretary told lawmakers.
The VA relaunched the EHR at four Michigan medical centers in April after a three-year hiatus as the agency and vendor worked through technical and patient-safety issues.
“We had a rollout almost three weeks ago in Michigan that has been phenomenal. Even by industry standard … It is working well,” VA Secretary Doug Collins said during an April 30 Senate Appropriations Committee hearing covered by MeriTalk. “The four facilities that have went live, I commend them greatly. They’ve overcome past failures, and not only raised the bar, they pushed the bar further.”
The department plans to deploy the EHR next at medical centers in Ohio — Chillicothe, Cincinnati and Dayton — and Fort Thomas, Ky.
