Some of them were configuration changes, some of them were process changes. We identified a list of items that needed to be fixed that would improve or lessen patient safety risk, and those have been completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe still expect to see folks raising concerns, because that\u2019s how we find issues that we can address. But overall, we\u2019ve seen past go-lives result in a decrease in patient safety issues.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In March, VA administrators at the Captain James A. Lovell Federal Health Care Center in Illinois fully switched over to the new health records system. That site is jointly run by the Defense Department and VA, presenting a unique opportunity to train staff from both agencies at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">VA officials have described that rollout as a success, reporting fewer problems and complaints than at previous sites. They also said that veterans\u2019 trust scores at the five facilities where the new record system is in use have risen since the start of the rest period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The number of system outages \u2014 a frequent complaint among staff using the system \u2014 have also decreased dramatically in recent months. Program officials said it has been more than 200 days since the last outage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe paused deployments of the EHR for more than a year and a half to listen to veterans and clinicians, understand the issues, and make improvements to the system,\u201d VA Deputy Secretary Tanya Bradsher said. \u201cAs a result of those efforts, veteran trust and system performance have improved across the board.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pre-deployment preparation will begin at the Michigan sites in the next few weeks. Whether the inauguration of Trump for his second term in office will change that schedule is unclear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Evans said the restart announcement is being made now to prepare the Michigan sites for the work ahead, including developing training schedules for staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A specific launch date is expected to be announced before the start of 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The project was scheduled to take 10 years and cost $16 billion.
