So VA officials are taking a new approach: using outside companies to sell the system as the perfect match for the military&#8217;s every desire.<\/p> <p>Last week, VA Secretary Eric Shinseki told lawmakers he wants &#8220;to be in the competition&#8221; for the new defense records system, even though Pentagon planners haven&#8217;t expressed much enthusiasm for VA&#8217;s plans in the past.<\/p> <p>At issue is the Veterans Health Information Systems and Technology Architecture, or VistA, VA&#8217;s longtime health records system. VA officials released their source code to commercial developers last year with an eye toward making it more interoperable with outside medical programs.<\/p> <p>That&#8217;s led to a number of improvements in VA&#8217;s system, officials said, while creating a stronger private-sector base for it. Several private companies plan to bid to build the Defense Department&#8217;s new digital health records system, a multiyear, multibillion-dollar endeavor.<\/p> <p>This means DoD could end up buying a new system that is compatible with VA&#8217;s records, based on VA&#8217;s software \u2014 the original, long-delayed goal \u2014 but with a commercial firm acting as a go-between.<\/p> <p>That irony has befuddled lawmakers who wonder if troops and veterans will ever get the seamless, lifelong electronic medical files the Obama administration promised five years ago.<\/p> <p>&#8220;Everybody seems to be protecting their own turf,&#8221; said Rep. Phil Roe, R-Tenn. &#8220;That might work well for them, but it&#8217;s not working well for troops and veterans.&#8221;<\/p> <p>Roe puts the blame squarely on the Pentagon, saying VA &#8220;has done its job&#8221; in updating its records system, while DoD still contemplates its path ahead.<\/p> <h3>Decades-old goal<\/h3> <p>The idea of seamless military-to-veterans records has been a goal of the two departments for decades, but President Obama made it a formal promise in 2009.<\/p> <p>Veterans&#8217; advocates have long lamented the process of dragging hefty paper medical files from doctor to doctor to make sure service-connected injuries and past physician visits aren&#8217;t overlooked.<\/p> <p>VA and defense officials had planned to solve that problem by upgrading their separate electronic medical records into a common digital system. But they abandoned that plan last spring, citing a $28 billion cost estimate.<\/p> <p>At the time, defense officials considered switching to VA&#8217;s VistA system but instead opted to see if better, more compatible commercial options were available.<\/p> <p>VA officials privately disagreed but publicly backed other plans to integrate the departments&#8217; separate records in other ways. Officials in both VA and DoD say that despite their still-different systems, they have common displays for most digital medical files \u2014 allowing physicians from either department to see the same information about patient prescriptions, treatments and illnesses.<\/p> <p>But lawmakers are still frustrated that DoD abandoned plans to share a single back-end software system and confused by DoD&#8217;s indifference toward VistA.<\/p> <p>Many stories have been cited of missing and incompatible records leading to duplicate treatments, unnecessary operations and a host of headaches for veterans. Roe said his greatest fear is that &#8220;10 years from now, we&#8217;re still going to be here dealing with the same problems.&#8221;<\/p> <p>DoD hopes to put a new records system fully in place by 2019. It has been soliciting input on its proposal request for months, gauging commercial firms&#8217; interest and ideas before a formal bid process later this year.<\/p> <p>Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel has publicly stated he is open to the idea of a VistA-based system, if the coupling would be beneficial to the military.<\/p> <p>But a final decision might not come for years.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure
