GAO testified before the House Veterans’ Affairs Committee that, as of August 2026, VA had not fully implemented 14 of 18 EHR modernization recommendations, including key items on cost, schedule, user concerns, and operational assessment.
Assessments
Goodlander has taken a relevant same-term step by joining the House Veterans' Affairs Health and Technology Modernization subcommittees and publicly reiterating the commitment, giving her a formal oversight role tied to the promise. But the promised outcome has not been shown to be delivered: the latest GAO evidence says major VA EHR modernization recommendations remained unimplemented as of August 2026, with continuing risks around cost, schedule, user concerns, and operational effectiveness. This supports partial credit for concrete oversight effort, not full delivery.
