Increased Transparency for VA Electronic Health Record Costs and Outcomes

This act mandates the Department of Veterans Affairs to regularly report on the costs, performance metrics, and outcomes of its electronic health record modernization program. This ensures taxpayer money is spent effectively and the system functions properly, directly impacting the quality of healthcare for veterans.
Key points
The Department of Veterans Affairs must submit quarterly reports to Congress detailing all expenses related to the electronic health record program.
Reports will include data on system quality, safety, and performance, as well as a list of reported patient safety incidents.
The goal is to increase oversight of the program to ensure better healthcare for veterans and efficient use of public funds.
