After experiencing several EHR outages, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) plans to work with Oracle Cerner to address the EHR issues.
In a joint effort, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and Oracle Cerner will launch a series of investigations to identify and fix frequent Oracle Cerner EHR outages, according to reporting from FedScoop.
Earlier this year, the VA Office of Inspector General (OIG) conducted an inspection to assess a safety concern with the new EHR that resulted in patient harm.
One of the concerns with the highest patient safety risk was described as the “unknown queue.”
