GUI for Defense/VA health records?

On May 26 I reported that the Defense and Veterans Affairs departments selected a key component of their electronic health record system, a graphical user interface (GUI) called JANUS developed by the Honolulu-based Pacific Telehealth and Technology Hui, a joint Defense/VA outfit.

Roger Baker, the VA CIO made this seem like a done deal, but I wonder if Defense has really signed on, based on language in the June 30 Senate Appropriations Committee report on the 2012 VA budget bill.

That language says in part (with my emphasis in bold):

"The Committee notes the successful VA pilot of GUI powered off the JANUS framework which was developed by the VA and focuses on clinician and patient centric data and is customizable by the user.

"As the Departments move forward on developing an iEHR [integrated electronic health record] the Committee encourages the Departments to consider this as an enterprise-wide solution."

It's a long way from encouragement and consideration to selection and, I wonder of Defense is backing its own GUI, with potential candidates from both the Air Force and Navy?
