HINQ interfaces with other modules to allow users to make eligibility requests. An on-line suspense file stores requests for later transmission and records HINQ responses, thus creating a log of HINQ activity. The HINQ module provides facilities with the ability to obtain veteran eligibility information quickly, accurately, and efficiently, allowing medical center personnel to act expeditiously on patient requests for medical treatment and other benefits. Returned HINQ data may be loaded directly into the local Patient file through various screens. The screens display both the data in the HINQ message and what is currently in the Patient file for comparison.
Features Sends on-line requests individually and forwards multiple requests in batch mode.
Tracks and updates requests. Processes routine requests in background allowing requesters to perform other tasks. Alerts requesters when responses are received from VBA computers. Alerts requesters when there is a discrepancy found between the returned HINQ information and what is in the Patient file. Provides the capability to update returned HINQ data directly into the Patient file.
