Electronic Health Record Modernization

One of the Department of Veterans Affairs’ highest priorities is to provide quality health care for Veterans. To support this mission, Battle Creek VA Medical Center (VAMC) is launching VA’s new electronic health record (EHR) system across its 6 care sites.The new EHR system is part of VA’s Electronic Health Record Modernization (EHRM) program. The Veteran-centric program and the EHR system were created to help better support service members as they transition from military service to Veteran status.

My VA Health Patient Portal

Once the Battle Creek, MI sites go “live” with the new EHR system, Veterans with a My HealtheVet account will move to a new patient portal, called My VA Health, to manage their VA health care online.

VA and Battle Creek VAMC are focused on helping Veterans transition to and use My VA Health: https://patientportal.myhealth.va.gov.

If you experience issues after the move to the new portal, need help or can’t find the information you are looking for on this page, please call our My VA Health Support Line at . Customer service representatives are standing by to help.
