From Federal News Radio:
The Defense Department’s current approach to achieving health record interoperability with the Veterans Affairs Department is “manifestly inconsistent” with White House directives to adopt and use open data standards, according to a memo from the Pentagon’s top systems evaluator.
A memo sent March 28 by J. Michael Gilmore, DoD’s director of operational test and evaluation, to Deputy Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter argued the multi-year effort is destined to produce a costly system that “may or may not succeed.”
Veterans — and taxpayers — deserve better.
