Customer Experience Milestone: VA launches new Electronic Health Record System

In a landmark event for Veteran health care, VA rolled out its new electronic health record system Oct. 24 at select medical facilities in the Pacific Northwest. This technology will help create a better health care and patient experience for Veterans. The EHR will be implemented at facilities across the country over a 10-year period. Veterans who receive care at facilities with the new EHR will also have access to a new patient portal.
