US Veterans Affairs Dept shoots down $10B Oracle Cerner implementation
A $10 billion Oracle Cerner project has ground to an indefinite halt following repeated problems with the rollout of electronic health records, some of which have caused physical harm to patients.
“We’ve heard from veterans and VA clinicians that the new electronic health record is not meeting expectations – and we’re holding Oracle Cerner and ourselves accountable to get this right,” said VA secretary Denis McDonough. “This reset period will allow us to focus on fixing what’s wrong, listening to those we serve, and laying the foundation for a modern electronic health record that delivers for Veterans and clinicians.
With the acquisition, Oracle inherited a 10-year contract with the Department for Veterans' Affairs signed in 2018. The deal was to design a health records system for VA hospitals and communicate with an EHR system that Cerner was installing for the US Department of Defense, replacing legacy systems, some of which were 40 years old.
