Voicebrook: Bridging the Gap as VA Pathology Labs Prepare for Change
Pathology laboratories within the VA healthcare system face unique challenges: complex workflows, outdated EHR technology, and the need for precise...
The VA’s transition to Oracle Cerner Millennium marks a significant shift for pathology labs nationwide. While this upgrade promises improved interoperability and efficiency, it also brings challenges—especially for anatomic pathology labs accustomed to VistA and other legacy systems. The key to a smooth transition lies in having the right reporting tools in place before the switch happens.
Switching to a new AP/LIS system impacts every aspect of pathology workflows, from case documentation to reporting accuracy. Without proper preparation, labs risk:
✅ Increased turnaround times due to unfamiliar workflows
✅ Data inconsistencies from disrupted reporting structures
✅ Staff training bottlenecks that slow down operations
✅ Delays in patient care caused by integration challenges
To avoid these issues, pathology teams need a reporting solution that works now and in the future.
Instead of waiting for the Cerner Millennium rollout that’s slated to start in 2026, labs can be proactive and adopt a reporting solution that offers stability before, during, and after the transition.
Why VoiceOver PRO Is the Right Choice for VA Labs:
✅ Works with both VistA and Cerner Millennium – Ensures seamless continuity across the transition
✅ Reduces workflow disruptions – Allows pathology teams to keep working as their AP/LIS system changes
✅ Enhances reporting efficiency – Automates structured reporting while reducing dictation errors
✅ Eases the learning curve for staff – Provides intuitive voice-enabled workflows to simplify documentation and reporting
Pathology teams that wait until the Cerner Millennium go-live to evaluate reporting tools may face unnecessary delays and complications. Implementing VoiceOver PRO now allows pathologists and lab managers to:
✅ Standardize reporting workflows today so that the LIS transition is smoother
✅ Train staff in a familiar environment rather than learning new tools during a system change
✅ Maintain uninterrupted patient care without workflow slowdowns
The VA’s new system is coming, and labs that prepare in advance will be best positioned for success. Don’t let outdated reporting tools slow you down when you can take control now.
