Dan Newhouse (R-WA) questioned officials from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) at the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs Subcommittee on Technology Modernization hearing. There have been numerous reports issued by the Inspector General and complaints from veterans in Central Washington and throughout Washington State citing issues related to the rollout of the new Electronic Health Record system in Walla Walla and Spokane and the impacts it has had on veteran’s care. Click here to hear Rep. Newhouse’s question series. “If we in the state of Washington have the distinction, or the honor, of being guinea pigs in this electronic records rollout we just have to be certain that the issues that we have seen do not happen again at any other place in this country,” said Rep. Newhouse. “If these issues exist, and obviously they do, they have not been addressed fully. We have got to be certain that we’ve got this right, in Spokane, in Walla Walla and until we do, we should not do this, in my humble opinion, at any other location in the country.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T02:19:30Z |
