14 organizations are looking to join federal electronic health record program
Fourteen organizations have expressed interest in joining the federal government's electronic health record program, as the office overseeing its deployment looks to shift toward cloud infrastructure, improve data-sharing between systems, and expand its use of AI.
Why this matters: Federal health records hold some of the most sensitive personal data the government touches — diagnoses, medications, mental health history, military service details. Expanding the program to more organizations, moving it to the cloud, and layering in AI all at once is a lot of change happening to a system most patients have no visibility into. Cloud migration and interoperability mean more places your data can travel. AI in that pipeline means automated systems touching decisions about your care. Who audits that, and what happens when something goes wrong, are not small questions.
