Lawmakers fault plan for veterans' health records
By KEVIN FREKING
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Congressional leaders overseeing veterans' issues are criticizing a decision by the Obama administration to move away from building a new computer system for storing the health records of troops and veterans.
The Pentagon and Veterans Affairs Department are working to merge their health records so that doctors can track a patient's health history from the time he or she enters the military to when he or she leaves and gets care at the VA.
The plan was to build a new computer system that would allow the two departments to merge all their health records by 2017. The departments announced Tuesday they could get the job done more quickly and cheaply by enhancing their existing but different computer systems.
Lawmakers are calling the shift a huge setback for veterans.

Wife guilty in Nichols Hills fire chief slaying
May 22, 2013 00:24 GMT
EL RENO, Okla. (AP) -- A jury in El Reno has convicted Rebecca Bryan of the murder of her husband, Nichols Hills Fire Chief Keith Bryan, and recommended a sentence of life in prison without parole.
Jurors reached the Tuesday verdict after about four hours of deliberation.
The 54-year-old Bryan claimed an intruder had shot her husband, though police found her Ruger pistol in a clothes dryer in their home after the shooting.
The gun was matched to the bullet used to shoot Keith Bryan in 2011 at the couple's Mustang home. Police also found a spent shell casing and a left-handed rubber glove wrapped in a bullet-riddled blanket.
The Oklahoman reports (http://is.gd/mvC6Mi ) Bryan didn't display her emotions when the verdict was read. Her lawyer gave her a hug and told her he was sorry.
