The Department of Veterans Affairs Health Record, VistA, has been recognized as a leader in the field of Electronic Health Records (EHR). The adoption of VistA by the Department of Defense will save the American taxpayer several billion dollars and ensure the continuity of care for U.S. Military Veterans.
As Jon Stewart mention it is like having a play station and a xbox and they don't talk to one another, therefore no information can be transferred from one system to another. So our soldiers coming home have this to deal with when they apply for VA disability and other benefits.
Simple the Department of Defense sends them to serve and the Department of Veterans Affairs takes care of them. What happens when the paper work is stuck in a box and will take 2 yrs to review. Stop this NOW!
