The VA said Monday the additional VA medical centers and clinics will go live with the EHR. The new sites, located in Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana and Alaska, include:

Officials from the VA’s EHR Modernization Integration Office, along with regional and local VA medical leaders and clinicians, and Oracle Health conducted planning sessions to determine the new medical facilities.
A total of 13 facilities will deploy the Federal EHR system in 2026. The four previously selected facilities are VA Battle Creek Medical Center, VA Detroit Healthcare System, VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System and VA Saginaw Healthcare System. The EHR system will be fully implemented at every VA site as early as 2031.
“We are excited to bring Veterans in Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio and Alaska a modern medical record system that will result in improvements to care, coordination and convenience,” said Doug Collins, secretary of the VA. “The Federal EHR is integrated across all VA and Department of Defense components, enabling seamless data exchange while enhancing care, safety and customer service for patients,” he added.
