Primary Electronic Health Record System
The James J. Peters Veterans Affairs Medical Center in the Bronx (bronx.va.gov) primarily uses the My HealtheVet patient portal for veterans to manage their health online. This portal allows veterans to refill and track prescriptions, send secure messages to their health care team, schedule and manage appointments, download medical records, view lab and test results, and order hearing aid batteries and accessories. The EHR system historically used by the VA, including the James J. Peters VA Medical Center, is known as VistA, with CPRS (Computerized Patient Record System) being a key graphical user interface. However, the Department of Veterans Affairs is in the process of a ΰ°Ήΰ°Ώΰ°Έΰ±ΰ°ΰ°Ύΰ°°ΰ°Ώΰ°ΰ± transition from its VistA EHR system to the Cerner Millennium platform as part of a nationwide modernization effort. Along with the Cerner EHR, a new patient portal called MyVAHealth is being implemented. While the transition to Cerner and MyVAHealth has been a നΰ΄ΰ΄¨ΰ΅ΰ΄¨ΰ΅ΰ΄ΰ΅ΰ΄£ΰ΅ΰ΄ΰ΄Ώΰ΄°ΰ΄Ώΰ΄ΰ΅ΰ΄ΰ΅ΰ΄¨ΰ΅ΰ΄¨ process across the VA system, and some facilities have already ΠΠΈΠ³ΡΠΈΡΠΎΠ²Π°Π½Π½ΡΠΉ, information suggests that the James J. Peters VA Medical Center has been operating within this transition. A job posting from May 2025 for the medical center listed familiarity with both CPRS/VistA and Cerner as desired qualifications, indicating that both systems may be in use or the transition is very recent. Therefore, while My HealtheVet connected to VistA has been the established patient portal and EHR, the medical center is moving towards or may have recently adopted MyVAHealth in conjunction with the Cerner Millennium EHR system.
