SBG Technology Solutions Supporting Electronic Health Record Modernization at the Department of Veterans Affairs

SBG Technology Solutions, Inc. (SBG) is proud to team as a major subcontractor to Booz Allen Hamilton (BAH) on the recently-awarded Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Electronic Health Record Modernization (EHRM) contract.

Department of Veterans Affairs EHRM

The EHRM initiative will transform and revolutionize VA’s electronic health record (EHR) system by adopting and integrating the Cerner commercial software system throughout the Department. In June 2017, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs announced that by embracing the Cerner solution, VA would leverage the experience and expertise of the Department of Defense, which is already deploying the Cerner EHR system. In announcing that decision, the Secretary highlighted VA’s legacy of “leading innovation in information technology systems.”

The VA EHRM acquisition and implementation effort will include software licensing, product integration, configuration management, testing, deployment planning, hosting, organizational change management, training, sustainment and a myriad of other efforts necessary to support an enterprise-wide business transformation. SBG’s core contributions to the EHRM Program will focus on providing Program Management Office support, including planning and implementing the overall EHRM solution.

Carlos Del Toro, President and CEO of SBG, noted that, “Our work supporting VA’s EHR efforts since 2013, when SBG was selected as prime contractor for VistA Evolution, has positively influenced our presence on the winning team for EHRM. We have developed a trusted partnership with VA, BAH and many other industry partners, and look forward to continuing our support to VA on EHRM.”
