VA and the Department of Defense (DoD) began working together in 2002 to share health information between their two Electronic Health Records (EHR). VA’s EHR is VistA CPRS* and DoD’s is AHLTA. Transferring information between VistA CPRS and AHLTA was a major undertaking, since both EHR’s were created using different types of software applications.

VA and DoD were committed to the task and worked together to develop advanced technology to ensure the secure transfer of electronic health information between the two EHR’s. This important work supports the health care provided to active duty Servicemembers and Veterans.
