This Veterans Day we honor our veterans and explore the VA EHR Modernization initiative. The VA’s EHR history and timeline began in 1983. The VA has been transitioning to their new electronic health record (EHR) system since 2015 when it awarded the then Cerner now Oracle the first contract of the project. The software stores health information and tracks all aspects of patient care.
