On April 21, 2023, Rep. Dan Newhouse (R-WA) issued the following statement in response to the announcement from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) that future deployments of the Oracle Cerner Electronic Health Record (EHR) will be halted while the Department of VA prioritizes improvements at the five sites that currently use the new EHR, as part of a larger program reset, and additional deployments will not be scheduled until VA is confident that the new EHR is highly functioning at current sites and ready to deliver for veterans and VA clinicians at future sites.
