Windom appeared Wednesday before the House Veterans Affairs Committee’s technology modernization subpanel to provide updates on VAâs implementation of a Cerner-built EHR platform.
He told lawmakers that those councils are composed of health professionals who provide feedback to help streamline the configuration of standardized operational and clinical workflows for the departmentâs EHR system.
Windom noted that VA has already addressed the technology aspect to facilitate interoperability and data sharing through health information exchanges such as Carequality and Commonwell.
âBut, there is also another piece, the information has to be put in, and so that information has to be made accessible by the people on those networks; weâve got the technology piece solved,â he added.
Laura Kroupa, acting chief medical officer at VAâs OEHRM, and Travis Dalton, president of government services at Cerner, also testified before the House subcommittee.
