Number of Veterans Insurance by VGLI by State Feb 2012

<p>Provides the number of Veterans insured under the Veterans' Group Life Insurance (VGLI) program by state.  This report provides a snapshot of the active VGLI membership as of February 29, 2012.  For members who reside outside the United States, membership is not identified by individual country.  The total number of members was captured to ensure 100% of the population was identified in the report.</p>
Clinical Case Registries (CCR)

<p>The Clinical Case Registries (CCR) replaced the former Immunology Case Registry and the Hepatitis C Case Registry with local and national databases. The CCR:HIV and CCR:HCV are administrative and clinical databases designed to provide population-based data on VA patients infected with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and/or Hepatitis C virus (HCV).  Each Veterans Health Information Systems and Technology Architecture (VistA) system contains a local CCR where patients who are potentially HIV or HCV infected are identified based on International Classification of Diseases (ICD-9) codes and/or positive antibody test results. The local HIV or HCV coordinator must review these cases to determine which patients are truly infected and should be added to the local registry. The local CCR provides extensive reporting capabilities to the local HIV and HCV clinicians to monitor their patient population. The local CCR software also extracts data elements from multiple VistA packages and transmits Health Level Seven (HL7) messages to the national database at VA Austin Information Technology Center. The national database is used for monitoring clinical outcomes, assessing resource utilization and quality assurance.</p>
FY11_EOM_OCT_VGLI Coverage Amount by State as of October 31, 2011

Patient Advocate Tracking System (PATS)

<p>The Patient Advocate Tracking System (PATS) is a centralized, web based application that records and tracks instances of patient compliments and complaints concerning their care at VA health care facilities. These instances of patient contacts may come from a variety of sources including the patient, family members, congressional members and/or Veterans service organizations on behalf of the Veterans receiving care at VA facilities. This database provides a menu of reports that can be used to track and trend data across Veterans Integrated Service Networks (VISNs). Reports of contact allow the Patient Advocate to trend compliments and complaints, and ensure that issues raised are resolved. The reports include data such as patient demographics, date of contact, method of contact, who made the contact, issues involved, what service was involved, resolution date and resolution status. Data is collected from Veterans Affairs Medical Centers and sent to the VHA Support Service Center (VSSC) where the data is maintained and reports created.</p>
Drug Accountability

<p>The Drug Accountability database collects information on medication dispensed to both inpatient and outpatient Veterans who receive health care from the VA.  Information for the Drug Accountability database is extracted from a number of files found within the Veterans Health Information Systems and Technology Architecture (VistA) environment.  Each month the extracted information is sent via MailMan messages from all VistA systems to the VA Pharmacy Benefits Management (PBM) office in Hines, Illinois.  At Hines, quality assurance procedures are performed on the data and local pharmaceutical names are converted to common names before the information is entered into the Drug Accountability database.  The users of this database include the PBM, Veterans Affairs Medical Centers (VAMCs), the Veterans Integrated Service Networks (VISNs), and the VA Research community.</p>
FY 2025 Pension Recipients by State

This report provides state-level estimates of the number of Veterans receiving VA Pension benefits as of 9/30/2025. It includes the Veterans’ sex. Blank values represent small cell counts that have been suppressed to protect the identity of Veterans as well as some cell counts that have been suppressed in order to prevent the determination of the values of the aforementioned small cell counts.

Provisioning (Prov)

<p>User provisioning is the process of associating a digital identity with one or more resource access accounts, which may serve as records for user data and permissions. This may include the creation, modification, deletion, suspension, or restoration of such accounts and also synchronizing user data. Managing user accounts locally creates redundancy in collecting and managing user information. This may lead to inaccuracies and inconsistencies with user data that is stored in authoritative sources, and this may also create security vulnerabilities by maintaining accounts for terminated users. By leveraging Provisioning, VA applications are able to centrally manage user information, attributes, roles, and accounts using data from authoritative identity sources. Once a manually intensive and disjointed process, VAs Provisioning (Prov) service leverages automated and centralized workflows to enhance security and bolster efficiency. As a result, application administrators, who previously had to manually manage user administration, now have services available to automate the process. Provisioning assigns the Security Identifier (SecID) as a unique user identifier for integrated applications to use for user authorization and audit. SecID is a unique ID assigned to a user when they are added to the Provisioning system via an on-boarding event. SecID, once assigned, remains the same even if the user status with VA changes over time (i.e., a Veteran becomes a contractor and then later becomes an employee). SecID is the identifier used to correlate Provisioning records to MVIs integration control number (ICN), which is the unique person identifier. Provisioning automates the on-boarding and off-boarding flows. Applications leveraging Provisioning gain an added benefit of automated account removal (deprovisioning) during off-boarding. The following table lists the detailed functions offered by the Provisioning service. Additionally, the Provisioning service includes a Role Engineering and Compliance Tool (RECT) that can help applications:  Conduct Role Analysis: Provides the ability to analyze current roles and permissions to rapidly build and deploy an enterprise role model  Certify User Roles: Provides the ability to have access privileges reviewed and managed by designated reviewers</p>

USA SPENDING CH39 B106 SPECIALLY ADAPTED HOUSING FOR DISABLED VETERANS JAN2019

<p>VBA SPECIALLY ADAPTED HOUSING BENEFIT PROGRAMS. The Specially Adapted Housing (SAH) grant program helps Veterans with certain service-connected disabilities live independently in a barrier-free environment. SAH grants can be used in one of the following ways: (1) construct a suitable home on suitable land either already owned or to be acquired by the veteran, or (2) remodel an existing home if it can be suitably adapted, or (3) acquire a suitably adapted home or reduce the outstanding mortgage on a suitably adapted home already owned by the veteran. b. The Special Housing Adaptation (SHA) grant program helps veterans with certain service-connected disabilities adapt or purchase a home to accommodate the disability. SHA grants can be used in one of the following ways: (1) adapt an existing home the veteran or a family member already owns in which the veteran lives; (2) adapt a home the veteran or family member intends to purchase in which the veteran will live; (3) help a veteran purchase a home already adapted in which the veteran will live. c. . The Temporary Residence Adaptations (TRA) program provides adaptation assistance to veterans who are residing, but do not intend to permanently reside, in the a residence owned by a family member. If a veteran is otherwise eligible for SAH or SHA, the assistance is limited. d. SAH and SHA grants may be used up to three times, as long as the aggregate grant amount does not exceed the statutory dollar limitation. TRA grants may only be used once (and count as a grant usage for purposes of the limit of three), and the amount of assistance provided will be subtracted from the veteran's available statutory maximum.</p>
Resident Assessment Instrument/Minimum Data Set (RAI/MDS)

<p>The Resident Assessment Instrument/Minimum Data Set (RAI/MDS) is a comprehensive assessment and care planning process used by the nursing home industry since 1990 as a requirement for nursing home participation in the Medicare and Medicaid programs. The RAI/MDS provides data for monitoring changes in resident status that are consistent and reliable over time. The VA commitment to quality propelled the implementation of the RAI/MDS in its nursing homes now known as VA Community Living Centers (CLC). In addition to providing consistent clinical information, the RAI/MDS can be used as a measure of both quality and resource utilization, thereby serving as a benchmark for quality and cost data within the VA as well as with community based nursing facilities. Workload based on RAI/MDS can be calculated electronically by the interactions of the elements of the MDS data and grouped into 53 categories referred to as Resource Utilization Groups (RUG-IV). Residents are assessed quarterly. The data is grouped for analysis at the Austin Information Technology Center (AITC). Conversion to electronic data entry and transmission to the AITC was completed system-wide by year-end 2000. In 2010, the Centeres for Medicare and Medicaide Services released a significantly upgraded version, MDS 3.0, to begin to be implemented on October 1, 2011 in VHA CLCs.  Training is underway currently.  The MDS 3.0 will generate a new set of Quality Indicators and Quality Monitors as well the RUGs will increase to 64 RUGs from the current 53 RUG groups.</p>
