Organizations reaffirm their commitment to
deliver a modern commercial EHR solution to help improve care
for our nation's veterans
AUSTIN,
Texas, June 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Oracle and
the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) will continue to
work together to deliver a modern electronic healthcare record
(EHR) solution that provides a secure and interoperable medical
record for our nation's veterans. The contract extension is a
testament to the progress Oracle and VA have made to fortify the
EHR system over the past two years and deliver measurable
improvements that help improve the lives of VA's dedicated
practitioners and the veterans they serve.
"We are honored to continue to work with Veterans Affairs to
support this critical mission of bringing better healthcare
services to those that have selflessly served our country," said
Seema Verma, executive vice
president and general manager of Oracle Health and Life Sciences.
"VA's intent to resume deployments1 in the next fiscal
year is a significant milestone that reflects the hard work our
collective teams have done to improve the system today, as well as
confidence in our shared ability to continually evolve the EHR over
time to meet the needs of both practitioners and patients."
The successful go-live of the joint Department of Defense (DOD)
and VA EHR system at the Captain James A. Lovell Federal Health
Care Center (Lovell FHCC) capped the five-year project of
delivering the federal EHR system to the DOD. The EHR system, known
as MHS GENESIS, is now live at 3,890 garrison facilities with
over 197,200 end-users serving more than 9.5 million beneficiaries
spanning the United States,
Europe, and the Asia Pacific region. This is the same EHR
system being used by VA, and will provide service members with a
single, longitudinal health record from enlistment through
life-long care at VA.
The federal EHR system will enable VA to standardize workflows,
training, and technology management across its facilities using a
single enterprise system. It supports better coordination across
federal and commercial partners including the DOD, the Coast
Guard, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. It
also provides the flexibility to adopt new solutions that will
continue to enhance the usability and safety of the system over
time.
"Our most recent roll-out at the Captain James A. Lovell
Federal Health Care Center in North
Chicago, IL exceeded expectations and demonstrated what's
possible as we move ahead with other VA facilities. Our veterans,
and the people who care for them, deserve a world-class EHR system
and we are delivering it," added Verma.
