What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The VA physicians’ and dentists’ association asked Congress to halt further deployments of the Oracle electronic health record system at VA facilities. The group requested that deployments only resume after the VA demonstrates the system supports safe and reliable care. The association, which represents approximately 20,000 physicians and dentists, wants independent patient safety reviews before the VA moves ahead with more installations.
