Officials with the Department of Veterans Affairs recently announced they will roll out 9 additional electronic health record (EHR) systems, bringing the total to go live in 2026 to 13, with complete deployment of the EHR system at all VA medical facilities as early as 2031.1
According to a press release, the additional VA facilities will be announced later this year following planning sessions with officials from VA’s Electronic Health Record Modernization Office, regional and local VA medical leaders, VA clinicians, and EHR vendor Oracle Health.
The announcement about the additional EHR facilities followed news in December of 2024, that 4 VA sites in Michigan would go live in 2026.
In the release, officials noted that the VA is pursuing “a market-based approach to site selection for its deployments going forward,” which “will enable the department to scale up the number of concurrent deployments, while also enabling staff to work as efficiently as possible.”
Plans call for adoption of a standard baseline of products, workflows, and integrations aligned with subject-matter-expert recommendations.
