He pointed out that since the VA installed EMRs in 1,400 hospitals, clinics, and nursing homes, the VA has been able to double the number of patients that are treated each year from 2.5 million to 5.3 million while maintaining an average annual per patient cost of $5,000. During the same period, the cost of comparable private care rose 40% to $6,500 per patient. The VA has not only reduced staffing by 13%, but the over 65 year old patients have a 40% lower risk of death than do over 65 Medicare patients in private facilities.
