But three months ago, the VA Inspector General\u2019s Office said that serious safety issues regarding patient medications and mental health flags remained unresolved with the new system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">VA planners deployed the system to the Central Ohio Healthcare System in May, the third site so far in the implementation process.
