Ahead of its EHR modernization efforts for the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Cerner has announced a team of 24 industry partners, many veteran-owned, with experience in large enterprise systems to help manage the transformation.

Leidos, Guidehouse, Accenture, and Henry Schein Inc. are among the partners involved in the core team.

“Cerner has brought together some of this country’s brightest industry leaders to transform veteran health care delivery,” said VA Secretary Robert Wilkie. “This team will create a single longitudinal health record that can facilitate the efficient exchange of data among military care facilities, VA facilities and the thousands of civilian health care providers where current and former service members receive care.”
