The Department of Health and Human Services currently leads in IT spend, but the completed deployment of the Affordable Care Act insurance marketplace will curtail some of that spending just as the VA begins to ramp up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGrowth in the federal health IT market is due predominantly to investments at VA and [Department of Defense] for new [electronic health records] and the associated network and other infrastructure upgrades,\u201d the report said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">David Shulkin, then secretary of Veterans Affairs, announced in June 2017 that his agency would be adopting an EHR system on the same platform (provided by Cerner) as the DoD, in part to<a href=\"https:\/\/www.federaltimes.com\/acquisition\/2017\/12\/08\/two-birds-one-stone-vas-ehr-to-address-interoperability-and-data-centers\/\" title=\"\" class=\"selected-link\" target=\"_blank\"> improve interoperability for service members\u2019 health records<\/a> as they transition into veteran status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Government Accountability Office said that it expects the initial rollout of the VA system to begin in June 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As of 2017, HHS represented just over 40 percent of the federal government\u2019s approximately $7.5 billion health IT spend. VA represented 27 percent, and DoD came in third at 24 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"672\"

IT spending will increase to $8.1 billion by 2023, in part due to a predicted increase in Medicare enrollment by that time, and Veterans Affairs will make up the largest chunk of that spending at 40 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"672\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Fed-IT-future.jpg.jpg\"
