>>U.S. House Lawmakers Halt Rollout of New Veterans' Record System
(Harrisburg, PA) -- Members of the U.S. House Veterans' Affairs Committee have caused a company that supplies medical records systems to re-think its rollout of a new program. The V-A's new electronic health record (EHR) system reportedly has been causing disruptions and patient safety issues so veterans' medical centers in Pennsylvania and elsewhere might not be using it for a while. Some committee members have expressed "great concern" about the current state of the VA's EHR system and have recommended that the V-A address the flaws before moving forward.
