# VA Expands AI Pharmacy Workflows

The Department of Veterans Affairs is rolling out AI-enabled pharmacy workflow improvements alongside its modernized electronic health record (EHR), with upgrades scheduled to be live at current EHR sites by the end of October 2026—about 25 days from the current date. VA and Oracle are also developing the broader Pharmacy Forward module, targeted for 2027. The signal identifies no open solicitation or contract value, but the work points to continuing demand for health IT, AI, pharmacy workflow design, and implementation capabilities.

- VA’s near-term rollout creates a distinct focus on deployment and integration at current EHR sites; the longer-term Pharmacy Forward effort is a separate area of potential work.
- Health IT firms and contractors can assess their capabilities in AI-enabled pharmacy operations, EHR integration, workflow design, and implementation relevant to VA environments.
- No open procurement or contract value is identified, so the development should not be treated as a currently available solicitation.
