The Department of Veterans Affairs wants to overhaul its medical-scheduling software, which is integrated into its VistA electronic health record system.

The Department of Veterans Affairs has launched an initiative to replace the medical-scheduling component of its electronic health record platform and is requesting proposals for how to update and rebuild the application.

The Medical Scheduling Package (MSP) is part of the VA's Veterans Health Information Systems and Technology Architecture (VistA) EHR platform. VistA manages the clinical data for patients throughout the VA health system.

Serving more than 8.3 million veterans per year, the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) is the largest integrated health system in the United States, the VA reports.

Hopefully this will be a fully improved system without glitches and headaches and causing long delays in providing care for our Veterans.

This is something that is long over due!
