The Department of Veterans Affairs has decided to resume the implementation of Oracle’s electronic health record system after encountering multiple problems. The system has faced issues such as locking out disabled patients and federal employees with disabilities. Despite the setbacks, the VA plans to fully roll out the system across the country in the coming year. This decision raises concerns about the impact on thousands of individuals who rely on the system for their healthcare needs. The VA will need to address these challenges and ensure that all users, including those with disabilities, can effectively access and navigate the new EHR system.
