Molly Bernhart Walker writes that House appropriators on Wednesday released spending legislation that would fund military construction and veterans programs for fiscal 2015.
The bill provides $344 million for update work on the Veterans Health Information Systems and Technology Architecture, according to Walker’s article.
Walker reports this proposed funding supports a VA-Pentagon project to build a standard medical data exchange system.
The VA secretary would also be required to report a VisTA program cost plan, risk management strategies and an interoperability framework.
