VA’s nationwide health information exchange wins a 2023 FORUM Health IT Innovation Award
NEW YORK, June 2, 2023 (Newswire.com)
–
The Veterans Data Integration and Federation (VDIF) program is the first unified, federated patient record for Veterans within the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), giving medical providers secure access to over 11.5 million Veterans’ health records, aggregating and normalizing clinical data across 172 VA medical centers and 1,074 outpatient clinics. Using InterSystems HealthShare, prime contractor VetsEZ, along with partners Ready Computing and J2 Interactive, have implemented an enterprise-wide technology solution that puts Veterans’ complete longitudinal health records in the hands of medical providers across the country, both within and outside the VA.
The Forum Innovation Awards is organized by Forum, a “news source for information related to Veterans Affairs, Health and Human Services, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Defense Health Agency, and other agencies involved with Federal Health.”
VA project leaders will accept the award at a reception to be held on Wednesday, June 7, in Washington, D.C.
The 2023 FORUM Health IT Innovation Award is the second major award selected to highlight the accomplishments of the VDIF project. Last year, Ready Computing and partners B3 and Ellumen celebrated the FedHealthIT Innovation Award with the VA for their work on the program.
