Susie Lee, D-Nev., and chairwoman of the House Veterans\u2019 Affairs Committee\u2019s panel on technology. \u201cWe hope you get this right. This is an incredibly important project not just for VA, but for health care across the country.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Three weeks ago, VA leaders announced they would postpone the planned March deployment of the department\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/2019\/07\/31\/va-migrates-health-records-for-235-million-veterans-ahead-of-integration-with-the-militarys-system\/\" target=_blank>new health records system<\/a> to the Mann-Grandstaff VA Medical Center in Washington state.
