Initial efforts included using the National Veterans Wheelchair Games in Detroit as a training venue for providers to prepare for the technology deployment. Following these preparatory steps, the VA began a nationwide rollout of the EHR system, starting in Indiana. The system, developed by Oracle and the VA, is scheduled to go live at medical centers in Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, and Marion. The new portal aims to consolidate health records, prescriptions, and secure messaging into a single interface to improve efficiency and allow doctors to access patient information on a single screen. The rollout is expected to occur in stages across the country over a five-year period. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-20: U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs begins nationwide health record rollout in Indiana The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs is rolling out a new centralized electronic health record system, starting with three medical centers in Indiana, to streamline veteran healthcare. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/us-department-of-veterans-affairs-begins-nationwide-health-record-rollout-in-indiana ### 2026-08-12: Department of Veterans Affairs advances healthcare research and technology The VA reports progress in veteran healthcare through DNA marker discoveries in the Million Veteran Program and EHR system training for providers during the National Veterans Wheelchair Games. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/department-of-veterans-affairs-advances-healthcare-research-and-technology --- Cite as: US Department of Veterans Affairs EHR rollout.
