 The Secretary of Defense announced that the Department of Veterans Affairs, or VA, will transition from paper medical records to an electronic version later this year in order to streamline medical care. This has to be about what's best in serving our veterans. One of the most complex challenges we face is obviously the whole issue of health records. Our service members often have extensive records. The last thing they need is to worry about their doctors having all of the information that they need in order to provide them the care that they deserve. Panetta also said 7VA and Department of Defense Medical Centers are piloting a program that allows doctors and patients to communicate via computer.
