Data transmission errors in the VA's new commercial health record could potentially lead to providers missing important prescription information on pati.
An agency watchdog said in a House hearing that Oracle and the VA’s Electronic Health Record Modernization Integration Office “did not test for medication and allergy data accuracy” in transmitting information to a database.
A VA official testifying at a hearing stressed that the department has not found any instances of patients being harmed by drug interactions specifically caused by the data issues.
