Development/Modernization & Enhancement (DME) is the money VA uses to build and modernize systems; Operations & Maintenance keeps them running; Pay funds OIT's federal workforce. The FY2027 tilt toward DME — with O&M and Pay roughly flat — is the structural shift in the account.

Electronic Health Record Modernization (the Oracle Health rollout) is a separate VA account, not part of IT Systems (0167) — so it is shown here, not inside the appropriation subtotal.
