VA health care is literally one of the most inefficient and wasteful departments in the US Govt. With the money allotted to the VA, it should be the most state of the art medical system in the world, period. It can be. There are hundreds of brilliant medical and technology firms, along with thousands of veterans who work in those areas who would jump at the chance to help. Put a team of the brightest minds on this, and we can fix this. It’s 2024, not 1972, yet it’s ran as if it is. Use the savings to end veteran homelessness.

It would help if they dropped CPRS for EPIC. There’s a reason for-profit hospitals shell out the money upfront to use EPIC. It’s more user friendly, prevents medical errors, increases productivity, etc.
Penny wise, pound foolish.
