On December 20, 2024, VA announced that it is beginning early-stage planning to deploy the Federal electronic health record (EHR) system to four Michigan facilities — Ann Arbor, Battle Creek, Detroit, and Saginaw — in mid-2026.
This decision comes after VA made critical improvements to the EHR system during a pause in deployments announced in April 2023, which has helped the system better serve Veterans and clinicians — and resulted in improved Veteran trust at all sites that use the EHR. These improvement efforts will continue unabated while VA begins early-stage deployment efforts in Michigan.
VA is ready and looking forward to restarting Federal EHR deployments and acknowledges there is still work ahead. The continuous quality improvement efforts we’ve been focusing on during the Reset will continue even after we restart pre-deployment activities. VA will kick off pre-deployment activities in the coming weeks, and additional details, including an initial deployment schedule, will be finalized and shared.
