OLYMPIA — Washington officials say they don’t know when a delayed project to bring electronic health records to facilities overseen by the state Department of Social and Health Services will be completed.
The News Tribune reported last week that nearly $22 million has been spent on the project to implement an electronic records system at state hospitals and other facilities.
The state’s contract with Missouri-based Cerner Corp. was amended in 2014 to extend the project deadline to October 2015.
The contract was changed again to set up project phases, creating a September 2017 deadline for all project items.
