"Another Walter Reed-type scandal"
After more than a decade and tens of billions of dollars, an electronic medical-records system for the Department of Defense called AHLTA is a huge bust.
And it didn't have to be that way. The Veterans Administration for decades has been using its own medical-records system, developed by and for health-care professionals, that's both effective and freely available.
Mother Jones magazine has the story, and it's disturbing reading for anyone interested in the quality of health care our service members receive.
UPDATE: The military publication Stars and Stripes was on this problem more than two years ago.
