# VA Accelerates EHR Modernization

The Department of Veterans Affairs plans 26 additional Electronic Health Record Modernization (EHRM) deployments in 2027, following 2026 deployments that affected more than 163,000 veterans and 7,800 staff. VA’s goal is to reach 170 sites by 2031. The expanded Oracle Health contract ceiling is nearly $27 billion, and Accenture Federal Services received a $439 million EHRM support task order. VA has also sought market information on interoperability and interface modernization. Funding for the next phase remains uncertain: the White House requested $4.2 billion for FY2027, while the House-passed bill provides $3.4 billion and places conditions on part of the funding; cost and patient-safety concerns remain under congressional scrutiny.

- The Oracle Health ceiling covers the broader EHRM program, while the Accenture task order provides a separate integration-support opportunity. Contractors with deployment, training, testing, sustainment, and interoperability capabilities may find relevant work as the rollout expands.
- The VA’s interoperability and interface modernization RFI (36C10G26Q00720001) indicates demand for technical solutions and related program-management support. Its response dates are listed as June 11–29, but the source does not specify the year.
- Because FY2027 funding is not settled and congressional conditions and oversight remain in play, firms should account for funding uncertainty when planning staffing, delivery schedules, and proposals tied to planned deployments.
