EHRM - What Veterans Need to Know

The Department of Veterans Affairs is transitioning to a single, modern electronic health record (EHR) that connects VA and Department of Defense medical records into one system, giving Veterans and their care teams seamless access to the same health information from enlistment through lifelong care.

VA Ann Arbor will go-live in April 2026! Here's what you should know and how you can prepare.

📅 Appointment Availability:
During our transition to the new Federal EHR, appointment availability may be limited from March through May 2026. If you plan to schedule medical appointments in spring 2026, we encourage you to schedule as early as possible.
For scheduling assistance, please call 734-769-7100.

💊Medication Refills:
To help avoid potential pharmacy delays during the transition, please renew your medication refills in March 2026.
For pharmacy-related questions, call 1-866-316-9350.

📞 Need help after hours or don’t have MyHealtheVet?
Our VA Health Connect Team is available 24/7, 365 days a year to assist with appointments, messages, and nurse triage.
Call 734-845-5290 for support.

Let it slow, let it slow, let it slow! When the holiday season feels overwhelming, it’s okay to step back and hit pause. Taking a self-compassion break can help you find peace and improve amid the year-end rush.

Over the next few months, staff at VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System will be playing around in the Federal EHR sandbox!

This is a computer program where they can try out the new EHR and learn how it works without using real patient data. It’s like a flight simulator for doctors, nurses, and frontline staff!
