The Department of Defense and the Department of Veterans Affairs has implemented a Joint Vurtual Lifetime Electronic Medical Record. The system is being used to streamline the transfer of health records between the two government agencies.
Medical and administrative information will be transferred with the use of the system. Furthermore, the electronic medical record (EMR) will allow the organizations to track the health records of military personnel throughout their respective careers.
The White House issued a statement asserting, "Access to electronic records is essential to modern healthcare delivery and the paperless administration of benefits". The implementation of the EMR will allow healthcare providers to have access to patient's medical history The medical information transfer system will facilitate the delivery of high-quality healthcare and reduction of medical errors.
