Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has laid the groundwork for an integrated, departmentwide enterprise architecture--a blueprint for evolving its information systems and developing new systems to optimize their mission value. Crucial executive support is in place and the department has a strategy to define products and processes critical to its development. VA is now recruiting a chief architect to help implement and manage the enterprise architecture. VA has tried to strengthen its information security management program by mandating information security performance standards and greater management accountability for senior executives. It has also updated security policies, procedures, and standards to implement critical security measures. Despite these efforts, VA continues to report pervasive and serious information security weaknesses. The Veterans Benefits Administration is still far from launching a modernized system to replace its aging benefits delivery network. The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) has made good progress in expanding the use of its decision support system (DSS) for clinical and financial decision making. The use of DSS data for the fiscal year 2002 resource allocation process, and a requirement that veteran integrated service network directors better account for their use of this system, have raised awareness of, and promoted its use, among VHA facilities. VA has made little progress in sharing data with the Department of Defense and Indian Health Service as part of a computer-based patient record initiative. Implementation strategies continue to be revised, the scope of the initiative has been substantially narrowed, and it continues to operate without clear lines of authority or comprehensive, coordinated plans.

Book excerpt: The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is engaged in an ongoing effort to share electronic medical information with the Department of Defense (DOD), which is important in helping to ensure high-quality health care for active duty military personnel and veterans. Also important, in the face of current military responses to national and foreign crises, is ensuring effective and efficient delivery of veterans' benefits, which is the focus of VA's development of the Veterans Service Network (VETSNET), a modernized system to support benefits payment processes. GAO is testifying on (1) VA's efforts to exchange medical information with DOD, including both near-term initiatives involving existing systems and the longer term program to exchange data between the departments' new health information systems, and (2) VA's ongoing project to develop VETSNET. To develop this testimony, GAO relied on its previous work and followed up on agency actions to respond to GAO recommendations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Dept. of Vet. Affairs (VA) provides medical care, disability compensation, and vocational rehab. to veterans. The Vet. Health Admin. (VHA) -- a component of VA -- provides care to over 5 million patients in more than 1,500 facilities. VHA relies on an outpatient scheduling system that is over 25 years old. In 2000, VHA began a project to modernize this system as part of a larger departmentwide modernization effort called HealtheVet. However, in Feb. 2009, VA terminated a key contract supporting the project. This report: (1) determined the status of the project; (2) determined the effectiveness of VA's management and oversight of the project; and (3) assessed the impact of the project on VA's overall implementation of its HealtheVet initiative.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has made limited progress toward addressing information technology (IT) system modernization challenges. Chapter 1 begins by examining IT because it is so important to everything VA does. From delivering timely care to veterans, to ensuring that medical records follow the patient, to making benefit decisions accurately, modern IT systems are essential. Chapter 2 summarizes key results and recommendations for the VA IT systems modernization efforts, FITARA implementation, and cybersecurity efforts.VA provides health care services to almost 9 million veterans and their families and relies on its health information system--VistA--to do so. Chapter 3 summarizes preliminary observations regarding costs incurred for the system and related activities during the last 3 fiscal years; key components that comprise VistA and are to be replaced; and actions VA has taken to prepare for its transition to the Cerner system. The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 included provisions that VA and DOD jointly develop and implement electronic health record systems or capabilities and accelerate the exchange of health care information. The act also required that these systems be compliant with applicable interoperability standards as reported in chapter 4. Chapter 5 determined VA's efforts to modernize VistA, including key contractors, contract costs, and expected contractor activities and VA's current plans for modernizing VistA and the progress that has been achieved to date. Chapter 6 summarizes VA's history of efforts to modernize VistA, including past use of contractors, and the department's recent effort to acquire a commercial electronic health record system to replace VistA.In September 2014, GAO reported on the Department of Veterans Affairs' (VA) Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers (Family Caregiver Program) and found that the program office had limitations with its information technology (IT) system--the Caregiver Application Tracker (CAT). Chapter 7 examines how VHA is implementing the Family Caregiver Program.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We appreciate the opportunity to join in today s hearing and share updated information on the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) information technology (IT) program. As you know, IT is essential to VA s ability to effectively serve the veteran population and is the cornerstone of the department's "One VA" vision of providing seamless services to veterans and their families. Over the past 5 years, VA has spent about $1 billion each year in support of its IT program, and it expects its IT expenditures to continue increasing over the next 5 years from about $1.4 billion in fiscal year 2001 to more than $2.1 billion by fiscal year 2005. Yet, as we have testified and reported in the past, 1 the department has encountered numerous and consistent challenges associated with managing IT, including weaknesses in its processes for selecting, controlling, and evaluating investments; the absence of a department wide enterprise architecture; and ineffective computer security management.

Book excerpt: "The United States Code is the official codification of the general and permanent laws of the United States of America. The Code was first published in 1926, and a new edition of the code has been published every six years since 1934. The 2012 edition of the Code incorporates laws enacted through the One Hundred Twelfth Congress, Second Session, the last of which was signed by the President on January 15, 2013. It does not include laws of the One Hundred Thirteenth Congress, First Session, enacted between January 2, 2013, the date it convened, and January 15, 2013. By statutory authority this edition may be cited "U.S.C. 2012 ed." As adopted in 1926, the Code established prima facie the general and permanent laws of the United States. The underlying statutes reprinted in the Code remained in effect and controlled over the Code in case of any discrepancy. In 1947, Congress began enacting individual titles of the Code into positive law. When a title is enacted into positive law, the underlying statutes are repealed and the title then becomes legal evidence of the law. Currently, 26 of the 51 titles in the Code have been so enacted. These are identified in the table of titles near the beginning of each volume. The Law Revision Counsel of the House of Representatives continues to prepare legislation pursuant to 2 U.S.C. 285b to enact the remainder of the Code, on a title-by-title basis, into positive law. The 2012 edition of the Code was prepared and published under the supervision of Ralph V. Seep, Law Revision Counsel. Grateful acknowledgment is made of the contributions by all who helped in this work, particularly the staffs of the Office of the Law Revision Counsel and the Government Printing Office"--Preface.
