Halting VA Electronic Health Record Rollout Until System Stability and Staff Readiness.

This law temporarily stops the rollout of the new Electronic Health Record Modernization (EHRM) system at new VA facilities to protect the quality of veteran healthcare. Implementation can only proceed after the VA certifies that the system is stable and reliable, meeting minimum uptime standards. This ensures veterans avoid disruptions in care caused by unstable technology.
Key points
The VA cannot start implementing the new electronic health record system at new sites until system stability standards are met and certified.
Facility readiness requires written certification that staff are trained and infrastructure is adequate before the system goes live.
The VA must submit detailed reports to Congress on national workflow standards, staff training requirements, and any site-level deviations.
These restrictions do not apply to facilities jointly operated by the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of Defense.
