Developers of the embattled electronic health records system <\/a>that Veterans Affairs officials hope to deploy in coming years are pushing back against accusations the software<\/a> is an unfixable failure, asserting instead that it represents the only reasonable path ahead for veteran patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a message posted Friday<\/a>, Oracle Executive Vice President Ken Glueck said that abandoning the new Millennium records system project would be \u201csnatching defeat from the jaws of victory\u201d and insisted that officials are close to providing \u201cseamless\u201d care for patients from the day they enlist in the military through their post-service health care needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
