退伍军人事务部联邦电子病历上线15项改进：为2022年以来最大一批系统升级
美国退伍军人事务部（VA）10月22日通过 VA News 公布，已上线联邦电子健康记录系统（Federal EHR）的 VA 站点及附属机构，近日开始接收该系统自2022年10月开始发布升级以来规模最大的一批系统改进。本批共推出15项全新或更新的增强功能，涵盖平台、能力与界面，旨在让临床人员与工作人员的日常工作更便捷，且停机时间极少甚至为零。
退伍军人事务部介绍，该部按季度例行向联邦电子病历推送升级，以保持系统现行。与大型、扰动性强的更新不同，这类季度发布以较小、可预期的组合包形式推出，使技术保持现代、减少停机，并让新工具在就绪后尽快交到临床人员手中。本批主要发布自2026年9月23日开始推出。
本批公布的三项代表性新增功能是：急诊科时间线视图（Emergency Department Chronological View），临床人员可在一张精简的时间线上同时查看生命体征、病历记录、医嘱与关键事件，以支持在紧急情况下更快、更知情的决策；康复组织工具（Rehabilitation Organizer），治疗团队可统一查看日程与关键细节，改善协调并支持更连贯的治疗体验；以及标准床旁超声整合（Standard Point of Care Ultrasound Integration），超声影像可直接流入联邦电子病历，减少重复检查，并让临床人员及时获取诊断信息。
在培训与支持方面，退伍军人事务部表示，随着新功能推出，该部为临床人员提供提示单、快速参考指南、演示与站点专属支持，帮助工作人员快速熟悉增强功能。2026年9月，临床人员还参加了三场「演示与对话」（Demos and Dialogue）活动，实地了解本批增强功能并获得专家实用指导。退伍军人事务部表示，当医疗提供者理解所用工具时，退伍军人能得到更顺畅的就医体验；各机构的联邦电子病历部署时间可通过该部的部署时间表查询。
VA Federal EHR Receives 15 Enhancements in Largest Upgrade Set Since 2022
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) announced on October 22 through VA News that VA sites and affiliated locations that have gone live with the Federal Electronic Health Record (EHR) have recently begun receiving the largest set of system improvements since VA began releasing upgrades in October 2022. The milestone introduced 15 new or updated enhancements across platforms, capabilities, and interfaces to the Federal EHR, making daily work easier for clinicians and staff, with little to no downtime.
VA said it routinely delivers quarterly upgrades to keep the Federal EHR current. Rather than large, disruptive updates, these quarterly releases arrive in smaller, predictable bundles, an approach the department said keeps technology modern, reduces downtime, and gets new tools into clinicians' hands as soon as they are ready. The major release began rolling out on September 23, 2026.
Three additions highlighted in the release are the Emergency Department Chronological View, which lets clinicians see vital signs, documentation, orders, and key events on one streamlined timeline to support faster, more informed decision-making in urgent situations; the Rehabilitation Organizer, which gives therapy teams a unified view of schedules and essential details, improving coordination and supporting more consistent therapy experiences; and Standard Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) Integration, under which ultrasound images now flow directly into the Federal EHR, reducing duplicate tests and giving clinicians timely access to diagnostic information.
On training and support, VA said that as new features roll out, it ensures clinicians have the support they need to use them effectively, including tip sheets, quick reference guides, demos, and site-specific support. In September 2026, clinicians also participated in three "Demos and Dialogue" sessions, giving them a real-world look at the enhancements and practical guidance from experts. VA said that when providers understand their tools, Veterans benefit from a more seamless care experience, and that deployment timing for individual facilities is available through the EHR deployment schedule.
