After weeks of speculation about where the agency will land, The U.S Department of Veterans Affairs has chosen Cerner to replace its ailing VistA electronic health record. For many, including Black Book, the news wasn't a surprise. Many expected them to choose Cerner since the vendor is already working on modernizing the health record for the U.S. Department of Defense. But others thought the VA had a real chance to advance interoperability had it chosen a different off-the-shelf product.
