The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is undergoing an Electronic Health Record Modernization (EHRM) across the entire enterprise, with the goal of creating a shared Federal Electronic Health Record (FEHR). In 2017, the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) joined with the Department of Defense (DOD) to plan for the transition to a modernized, combined EHR platform to capture the healthcare delivery of both active-duty members and veterans. The VHA anticipated transitioning to the new EHR across all medical centers nationally over a period of 10 years—”the largest EHR transition in history.” The first rollout was in October 2020 in Spokane, Washington, USA.
