Healthcare IT News: The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs released its report on the functional requirements expected of Cerner with the EHR modernization project.
Typically, these documents are provided to vendors attempting to bid on government contracts. However, VA Secretary Shulkin issued a sole source contract to EHR giant Cerner in June, in an effort to work alongside the Department of Defense and their Cerner install.
The VA has yet to sign the contract with Cerner.
According to the documents, interoperability is top of mind for the agency. Along with requiring Cerner to provide a level of secure information exchange, interoperability must be far better than the industry standard.
