Is a serious cost estimate availalble how much it would cost to abandon Cerner and modernize VistA instead? Who would be credible and could calculate it for the congress members?

I am not in a position to give any kind of accurate estimate to modernize VistA in today’s market place, but I think the VA could build upon the VDIF database to centralize data and then modernize CPRS using a combination of VDIF and the local VistA databases. And I believe it could be done for less that the projected $39 Billion. And the advantages of owning the source code and data far outweigh paying for an external system like Cerner. This gives the VA the ability to make changes that are specific to government rather than having to deal with an external company and have to wait on that companies timelines for making and fielding changes.
Thanks,

..." and $17 billion to maintain over the
next 15 years" so rough cost of ownership is $54 billion...not
including lost productivity through "change management" and how
do you put a price on medical errors and patient impact?
Just in case anyone has forgotten that this happened before in the UK which wasted over 12 billion pounds on their EHR project..

“The Rt Hon Margaret Hodge MP, Chair of the Committee of Public
Accounts, today said: 'The Department of Health is not going to
achieve its original aim of a fully integrated care records
system across the NHS. Trying to create a one-size-fits-all
system in the NHS was a massive risk and has proven to be
unworkable. The Department has been unable to demonstrate what
benefits have been delivered from the £2.7 billion spent on the
project so far.'”
