Six Steps for Fighting the FluHAVE YOU HEARD?
Ten years ago, My HealtheVet began as an electronic health record (EHR) pilot program with 7,000 users nationwide. Today, more than 2.5 million registered users actively participate in their health care using My HealtheVet. OIT is proud to be part of this success and looks forward to another 10 years (and more) of collaboration with VHA in support of Veterans. As the My HealtheVet user base grows, OIT keeps the system up and running and continually develops improvements and new functions. Ideas for new tools come from patient feedback, doctor surveys, OIT employee suggestions, and VHA requests. OIT listens and incorporates that input into quarterly releases with new and improved capabilities. Learn more about how OIT and VHA work together to deliver quality care to our Veterans through My HealtheVet at http://go.usa.gov/WGDJ.
