DoD is shopping for a big wasteful POS system that doesn&#8217;t exist yet and the VA doesn&#8217;t want to lose theirs, so veterans are left holding the bag.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p> Earlier this month, secretaries from both departments announced they would provide shared medical records starting this year, but not a shared, identical system among agency health officials. Lawmakers and veterans advocates blasted that as reneging on the president\u2019s promise of seamless, lifelong medical records for veterans.<\/p>\n<p>Department officials insist that isn\u2019t so.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are not moving away from a single, joint electronic health record,\u201d VA assistant secretary for information Roger Baker told the committee. \u201cWhat has changed is the strategy we will use to accomplish the goal.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So, what they need is an administrator that will kick both agencies in the ass until they resolve their little selfish bullshit tantrums. But I  don&#8217;t see Shinseki or Hagel being that guy. This is what happens when you put politicians in the position of an administrator. If I&#8217;m not mistaken, this was supposed to happen last year, and with a year grace period, they still haven&#8217;t taken the first step.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Stars &#038; Stripes reports that the VA and the pentagon can&#8217;t come to an agreement &hellip; <a title=\"VA &#038; Pentagon fight over sharing; vets pay\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=34360\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">VA &#038; Pentagon fight over sharing; vets pay<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[198,143],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-34360","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-big-army","category-veterans-affairs-department"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34360","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=34360"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34360\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=34360"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=34360"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=34360"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
