12 VistA Evolution VistA Evolution is a joint program of the VA Office of Information Technology (OI&T) and the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) and will provide interoperability with EHR systems of the DoD and other healthcare partners to promote improved outcomes in quality, safety, efficiency, and satisfaction in healthcare for Veterans, Service members, and their dependents. Interoperable EHR systems will ensure that authorized beneficiary and medical data are accessible, usable, shared, and secure to meet the needs of VA patients, healthcare providers, and other stakeholders. VistA Evolution will modernize the VA EHR and ancillary health information technology (IT) systems to facilitate their use by clinicians inside and outside VA. The modernized VA system will be interoperable with the EHR systems of the DoD and other healthcare partners to enhance patient centered, team and evidence based care by giving healthcare providers a complete picture of a patient s care and treatment history. 12

13 VistA 4 The VistA 4 Product Roadmap outlines how the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), under the direction of the VistA Evolution Program, will build upon the previous success and institutional knowledge investment in Veterans Health Information Systems and Technology Architecture (VistA) Electronic Health Record (EHR). The evolution of VA s existing EHR product will be known as VistA 4. The updated VA EHR system will be interoperable with the EHR systems of the Department of Defense (DoD) and other healthcare partners to enhance patient centered, team and evidence based care by giving healthcare providers a complete picture of a patient s care and treatment history. 13

14 VistA 4 The VistA 4 Product Roadmap includes the migration to a robust, efficient and scalable technology platform and outlines a stream of enhancements that facilitate Care Coordination as a New Model of Care and continuous quality improvement. This model consists of team based, patient centric care inclusive of the Veteran and their patient driven goals. The product roadmap incorporates significant functional enhancements and improved integration to clinical ancillary systems (laboratory, pharmacy and radiology) and the adoption of clinical coding standards that will improve interoperability among care settings and support evidence based clinical decision support (CDS). This roadmap will also lay the groundwork for improved Medical Device Integration (MDI) as these industry standards mature. 14

15 VistA 4 VistA 4 enhancements will be built upon an efficient and agile Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) framework for ease of development and deployment. The program will also continue to ensure an interoperable, secure and reliable technical infrastructure while adopting enhancements outlined by the VA Enterprise Infrastructure design. 15
