SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

1. Description of the Proposed System

of Records

The Spinal Cord Dysfunction (SCD)—

Registry provides a registry of veterans

with spinal cord injury and disorders

(SCI&D). This registry contains pertinent

information on veterans with SCI&D and

enables better coordination of care

among VHA staff. The purpose of the

registry is to assist clinicians,

administrators, and researchers in

identifying and tracking services for

veterans with spinal cord dysfunction

resulting from trauma or diseases. The

SCD—Registry can also facilitate

clinical, administrative, and research

reports for medical center use. Local

Veterans Health Information System and

Technology Architecture (VistA) SCD—

Registries provide aggregate data to the

National SCD—Registry database at the

Austin Automation Center (AAC). This

centralized AAC registry is used to

provide a VA-wide review of veteran

demographics and clinical aspects of

injury and disorders for administrative

and research purposes.

These records contain identifying

information including name, social

security number (SSN), date of birth,

unique record identifiers, and

registration date. SCD—Registry

registration information may include

registration status, neurologic level of

injury, etiology, date of onset, type of

cause, completeness of injury, and

annual evaluation dates offered and

received. Each local medical center

facility has a VistA based SCD—Registry

software package that interactively

functions with other clinical VistA

based software. The SCD—Registry

program and other programs at the

respective facilities automatically flag

records or events for transmission based

upon functionality requirements. Data

transmissions between VA health care

facilities and the VA databases housed

at the AAC are accomplished using the
