OIG Flags Active Medication List Issues in VA EHR
The Office of Inspector General (OIG) highlights medication list discrepancies in the VA’s Oracle Health electronic health record (EHR), potentially affecting veterans transitioning between different EHR systems. Despite some issue resolutions, concerns persist over medication inaccuracies, posing risks to patient safety. Ongoing scheduling challenges also impact patient engagement. OIG’s scrutiny began with a prescription backlog in Ohio and uncovered broader patient safety concerns due to software errors. Oracle Health’s efforts to rectify data inaccuracies have fallen short, leaving thousands of patients vulnerable to medication-related incidents. Continuous oversight and corrective action are imperative to safeguard veteran care amidst EHR modernization challenges.
