Murray, Tester, Brown Announce Comprehensive Bill to Overhaul VA's Electronic Health Record Modernization Program

Statement

"I have been clear from the start--VA cannot continue with its current EHR system until it works for providers and keeps patients safe. This legislation will put into law the kind of aggressive oversight necessary to fix the current system--that's my first priority," said Senator Murray. "Importantly, this set of reforms will also overhaul the contracts and acquisitions process so that the issues we've seen these last few years can be prevented in the future. I want to make sure the dedicated providers at VA can do their jobs and that our veterans are getting the high quality care they have earned and deserve. Let's pass the EHR Program RESET Act as soon as possible."
