Department of Veterans Affairs EHRM Standardization and Accountability Act

This bill requires the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to certify improvements to its electronic health record system (EHR) before expanding its implementation. Specifically, the VA cannot start new EHR program activities or implement the system at new facilities until it provides written certification to Congress that: (1) the system meets minimum uptime/stability standards, and (2) workflow customization issues are resolved. The VA must also certify that staff and infrastructure at each facility are ready for the EHR, with this requirement ending once certification is achieved across all facility complexity levels. Additionally, the VA must submit detailed reports to Congress within 30 days and quarterly thereafter on system stability, readiness standards, and deviations from national workflow guidelines.
