VA deploys new EHR at 3 Indiana-based medical facilities
The Department of Veterans Affairs has deployed its new electronic health records system at three Indiana-based medical facilities, bringing the total number of rollouts in the current year to eleven.
Why this matters: Veterans' health records are some of the most sensitive data the government holds. Every new site that goes live on the VA's EHR system is another point where medical history, mental health records, and service-connected conditions move into a new platform. That creates real exposure if the rollout is rushed or if data migrates poorly. The VA's EHR modernization program has had a troubled history. Watching where it lands next, and whether patient data survives the move intact, is worth following closely.
