VA officials did not provide specifics on when any of those deployments will be rescheduled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The delay is the latest in a series of setbacks for the 10-year, $16 billion health records overhaul project, launched by President Donald Trump in 2017. Only five of the department\u2019s 170-plus medical sites have begun using the software, and new deployments have been delayed for months amid concerns with the new system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the last few weeks, lawmakers in the House and Senate have introduced a series of legislative proposals to delay future deployments until VA officials can verify that certain patient safety, staff training and software usability standards have been reached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Several Republican lawmakers have also publicly supported abandoning the project, questioning whether the system can ever be fully functional. VA and Oracle Cerner have insisted that it can work, and that the move is needed to bring veterans\u2019 medical files onto the same platform as the Defense Department\u2019s records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Thursday, House Veterans\u2019 Affairs Committee Chairman Mike Bost, R-Ill., and Rep. Matt Rosendale, R-Mont., the chair of the committee\u2019s technology panel, called the delay the right decision considering the ongoing problems with the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe applaud the responsible decision not to resume implementing the disastrous Oracle Cerner electronic health record at more VA sites,\u201d they said in a joint statement. \u201cIt is abundantly clear to us that the Oracle Cerner EHR system is not ready for prime time, and VA is not ready to carry out this project.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/militarytimes\/veterans\/2023\/04\/03\/advocates-sue-dod-to-find-out-what-sickened-troops-at-uzbek-air-base\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"181\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/472258.jpg_e41092.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Advocates sue DoD to find out what sickened troops at Uzbek air base<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">More than 15,000 troops who served at the Uzbekistan base may have been exposed to a host of toxic chemicals.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">VA officials are currently reviewing their contract with Oracle Cerner on the records system, with an eye towards renewing it for the final five years. During remarks at the War Horse Symposium in Chicago on Thursday, McDonough said that improvements will need to be made in the system before that agreement is finalized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
