DOD and VA officials announced Jan. 24 that the two departments plan to develop a common inpatient electronic health record system. Up until now, each has used separate systems. Such accessibility to inpatient medical records would enable clinicians to offer better, and faster, diagnoses and treatment of patients, according to a VA release.
The Air Force wants to pump more than $12 billion over the next five years into its new affordable long-range missiles program and recently asked industry to push the flights of some of those munitions beyond 1,200 miles.
