VA Plans To Deploy New EHR At 13 Medical Facilities In 2026
NextGov, Friday, March 7th, 2025
The department said it will be adding nine sites to its 2026 deployment schedule, although it added that it will announce the specific facilities later this year.
The Department of Veterans Affairs is planning to increase deployments of its new Oracle Cerner electronic health record system to 13 VA medical facilities in 2026, with the ultimate goal of completing the troubled modernization project as early as 2031.
VA said in December that it would be rolling out the new EHR software at a total of four medical sites in mid-2026. In a Thursday release outlining its new plans, however, VA said it would announce the nine additional medical facilities slated to receive the modernized EHR system later this year, after consulting with VA officials, clinicians and Oracle Cerner representatives.
