Shared medical imaging for veterans
If enacted, VA and Defense would have to adopt shared image‑sharing software across Military Health System sites (including GENESIS), VA medical facilities, and non‑VA providers with VA 1703 agreements. The Secretaries would give Congress a plan and timeline within 180 days and must build a shared data storage platform within two years. Chosen systems would need to meet accessibility, security, and technical standards (including SMART on FHIR, OAuth2, and DICOM), work with hospital EHRs and mobile apps, and follow HIPAA privacy rules. The agencies would brief Congress six months after the plan and report updates and measured cost and time savings annually. The plan would reduce reliance on CDs/DVDs for sharing images and aim to speed diagnosis and cut duplicate scans for veterans, service members, and their caregivers.
