Have you heard about our new mascot, Ehrnie?
Ehrnie the Eagle is guiding our facility through the new Federal Electronic Health Record Modernization! The new, common Federal EHR will provide a single, accurate, lifetime health record for Veterans and include their health records from the Department of Defense (DoD), U.S. Coast Guard (USCG), and other federal partners. For Veterans, this will result in improved standardization of health care delivery, patient care quality, and safety. The modernized EHR also supports a more coordinated experience for VA staff and clinicians as they care for Veterans and will improve interoperability with the rest of the American health care system.
Ehrnie is making his rounds to the different community VA clinics sharing information about our new system, set to go live on June 6th, 2026!
