This week pre-recording of Federal News Radio Federal Executive Forum featured Linda Fischetti , Health Informatics Architect at the Veterans Health Administration (VHA). During a panel discussion, her comments on VHA accomplishments and plans included:
- Every Veteran’s Administration facility uses electronic health records today. The New England Journal of Medicine recently complimented the VA on their use of electronic
health records (EHR). - VHA currently has over 1400 points of care and has been using EHR for over 10 years with dramatic associated improvement in clinical health care quality.
- Until now, electronic health records have been provider records. The current goal is to
transform that perspective into a veteran centered record. - A majority of health care information is currently recorded on paper. Changing from paper to EHR represents a major challenge and expense. Clinicians must be drivers and decision makers in this health care information technology transition.
The Federal Executive Forum panel participants were:
- Vish Sankaran- Program Director, Federal Health Architecture, Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology, Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)
- Linda Fischetti- RN MS, Health Informatics Architect, Future Health Systems Design and Usability, Health Information Architecture, Veterans Health Administration

- Jim Borland- Special Advisor for Health IT, Office of the Commissioner, Social Security Administration (SSA)
