SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background: VHA is the largest health care provider in the country.
VHA collects health care information from its local facilities to
evaluate quality of services, clinical resource utilization, and
patient safety, as well as to distribute medical information, such as
alerts or recalls, track specific diseases, and monitor patients.
National-level information is also needed for other activities, such as
medical research and the development of National Best Clinical Practice
Guidelines and National Quality Standards. VHA gathers this information
from a wide variety of sources, including directly from Veterans; from
information systems located at VHA medical centers, Veterans Integrated
Service Networks (VISN), other VHA facilities, such as the Health
Eligibility Center; and Federal departments and agencies such as the
U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and the Food and Drug Administration.
As the data is collected, VHA stores it in several national patient
databases.
The Categories of Records in the System and the Records Source
Categories are being amended to change 24VA19 to 24VA10P2.
The purpose of this system of records is being amended to state
that Healthcare Associated Infections and Influenza Surveillance System
(HAIISS) data is available to VHA clinicians for the monitoring of,
among other things, influenza, emerging infectious diseases or
syndromes associated with natural and or bioterrorist activities,
pathogen resistance to antimicrobials, and healthcare-associated
infections (HAI). Data is also available for transmittal to state/
local/Federal public health authorities for reportable diseases,
biosurveillance, and Health Information Technology for Economic and
Clinical Health Act Meaningful Use requirements purposes.
Routine use 26 has been added to state that health care information
may be disclosed to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), or a person
subject to the jurisdiction of the FDA, with respect to FDA-regulated
products for purposes of reporting adverse events, product defects or
problems, or biological product deviations; tracking products; enabling
product recalls, repairs, or replacements; and/or conducting post
marketing surveillance.
System Manager and Address, Notification Procedure, and Record
Access Procedure are being amended to change from the Austin Automation
Center to the Austin Information Technology Center.
Appendix 4 has been amended to remove the Corporate Data Warehouse;
Regional Data Warehouses; and Veterans Informatics and Information
Computing Infrastructure, which are now located in the Corporate Data
Warehouse-VA (172VA10P2), Appendix A. The Electronic Surveillance
System for the Early Notification of Community-Based Epidemics is being
removed from the Appendix. Master Patient Index is being changed to
Master Veteran Index. Also, the Homeless Veterans Registry is
[[Page 8246]]
being amended to reflect a change in address to Austin Information
Technology Center, 1615 Woodward Street, Austin, Texas, 78772.
The notice of amendment and an advance copy of the system notice
have been sent to the appropriate Congressional committees and to the
Director of Office of Management and Budget (OMB) as required by 5
U.S.C. 552a(r) (Privacy Act) and guidelines issued by OMB (65 FR
77677), December 12, 2000.

121VA10P2
SYSTEM NAME:
National Patient Databases-VA.
SYSTEM LOCATION:
Records are maintained at VA medical centers, VA data processing
centers, VISNs and Office of Information field offices. Address
location for each VA national patient database is listed in VA Appendix
4 at the end of this document.
CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE SYSTEM:
The records contain information for all individuals (1) Receiving
health care from VHA, and (2) Providing the health care. Individuals
encompass Veterans and their immediate family members, members of the
Armed Services, current and former employees, trainees, contractors,
subcontractors, consultants, volunteers, and other individuals working
collaboratively with VA.
CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:
The records may include information and health information related
to:
1. Patient medical record abstract information including, but not
limited to, information from Patient Medical Record--VA (24VA10P2).
2. Identifying information (e.g., name, birth date, death date,
admission date, discharge date, gender, Social Security number,
taxpayer identification number); address information (e.g., home and/or
mailing address, home telephone number, emergency contact information
such as name, address, telephone number, and relationship); prosthetic
and sensory aid serial numbers; medical record numbers; integration
control numbers; information related to medical examination or
treatment (e.g., location of VA medical facility providing examination

7. Online Data Collection system supported by Northeast Program
Evaluation Center and VHA Support Service Center to include electronic
information from all Veteran homeless programs and external sources;
and
8. Clinically oriented information associated with My HealtheVet
such as secure messages.
AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM:
Title 38, United States Code, Section 501.
PURPOSES:
The records and information may be used for statistical analysis to
produce various management, workload tracking, and follow-up reports;
to track and evaluate the ordering and delivery of equipment, services,
and patient care; for the planning, distribution, and utilization of
resources; to monitor the performance of VISNs; and to allocate
clinical and administrative support to patient medical care. The data
may be used for VA's extensive research programs in accordance with VA
policy. In addition, the data may be used to assist in workload
allocation for patient treatment services including provider panel
management, nursing care, clinic appointments, surgery, prescription
processing, diagnostic and therapeutic procedures; to plan and schedule
training activities for employees; for audits, reviews, and
investigations conducted by the network directors office and VA Central
Office; for quality assurance audits, reviews, and investigations; for
law enforcement investigations; and for personnel management,
evaluation and employee ratings, and performance evaluations. Survey
data will be collected for the purpose of measuring and monitoring
national, VISN, and facility-level performance on VHA's Veteran Health
Care Service Standards (VHSS) pursuant to Executive Order 12862 and VHA
Customer Service Standards Directive. The VHSS are designed to measure
levels of patient satisfaction in areas that patients have defined as
important in receiving quality, patient-centered health care. Results
of the survey data analysis are shared throughout the VHA system. The
EPRP data are collected in order to provide medical centers and
outpatient clinics with diagnosis and procedure-specific quality of
care information. EPRP is a contracted review of care, specifically
designated to collect data to be used to improve the quality of care.
The Veteran Homeless records and information will be used for case
management in addition to statistical analysis to produce various
management, workload tracking, and follow-up reports; to track and
evaluate the goal of ending Veteran homelessness. HAIISS data will be
available to VHA clinicians to use for the monitoring of health care-
associated infections and for the transmittal of data to state/local
health departments for biosurveillance purposes.
ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES
OF USERS AND THE PURPOSES OF SUCH USES:
To the extent that records contained in the system include
information protected by 38 U.S.C. 7332, i.e., medical treatment
information related to drug abuse, alcoholism or alcohol abuse, sickle
cell anemia or infection with the human immunodeficiency virus;
information protected by 38 U.S.C. 5705, i.e., quality assurance
records; or information protected by 45 CFR Parts 160 and 164, i.e.,
individually identifiable health information, such information cannot
be disclosed under a routine use unless there is also specific
statutory authority permitting the disclosure. VA may disclose
protected health information pursuant to the following routine uses
where required or permitted by law.
1. VA may disclose on its own initiative any information in this
system, except the names and home addresses of Veterans and their
dependents, that is relevant to a suspected or reasonably imminent
violation of law, whether civil, criminal, or regulatory in nature and
whether arising by general or program statute or by regulation, rule or
order issued pursuant thereto, to a Federal, state, local, tribal, or
foreign agency charged with the responsibility of investigating or
prosecuting such violation, or
[[Page 8247]]
charged with enforcing or implementing the statute, regulation, rule,
or order. On its own initiative, VA may also disclose the names and
addresses of Veterans and their dependents to a Federal agency charged
with the responsibility of investigating or prosecuting civil,
criminal, or regulatory violations of law, or charged with enforcing or
implementing the statute, regulation, rule, or order issued pursuant
thereto.
2. Disclosure may be made to any source from which additional
information is requested (to the extent necessary to identify the
individual, inform the source of the purpose(s) of the request, and
identify the type of information requested), when necessary to obtain
or provide information relevant to an individual's eligibility, care
history, or other benefits across different Federal, state, or local,
public health, health care, or program benefit agencies that improves
the quality and safety of health care for our Veterans.
3. Disclosure may be made to a Federal agency in the executive,
legislative, or judicial branch, State and local Government or the
District of Columbia government in response to its request or at the
initiation of VA, in connection with disease tracking, patient
outcomes, or other health information required for program
accountability.
4. Disclosure may be made to the National Archives and Records
Administration and the General Services Administration for records
management inspections under authority of Title 44, Chapter 29, of the
United States Code.
5. VA may disclose information in this system of records to the
Department of Justice (DOJ), either on VA's initiative or in response
to DOJ's request for the information, after either VA or DOJ determines
that such information is relevant to DOJ's representation of the United
States or any of its components in legal proceedings before a court or
adjudicative body, provided that, in each case, the agency also
determines prior to disclosure that disclosure of the records to the
DOJ is a use of the information contained in the records that is
compatible with the purpose for which VA collected the records. VA, on
its own initiative, may disclose records in this system of records in
legal proceedings before a court or administrative body after
determining that the disclosure of the records to the court or
administrative body is a use of the information contained in the
records that is compatible with the purpose for which VA collected the
records.
6. Records from this system of records may be disclosed to a
Federal agency or to a state or local government licensing board and/or
to the Federation of State Medical Boards or a similar non-government
entity that maintains records concerning individuals' employment
histories or concerning the issuance, retention, or revocation of
licenses, certifications, or registration necessary to practice an
occupation, profession, or specialty, in order for the agency to obtain
information relevant to an agency decision concerning the hiring,
retention, or termination of an employee.
7. Records from this system of records may be disclosed to inform a
Federal agency, licensing boards, or appropriate non-governmental
entities about the health care practices of a terminated, resigned, or
retired health care employee whose professional health care activity so
significantly failed to conform to generally accepted standards of
professional medical practice as to raise reasonable concern for the
health and safety of patients receiving medical care in the private
sector or from another Federal agency.
8. For program review purposes and the seeking of accreditation
and/or certification, disclosure may be made to survey teams of the
Joint Commission, College of American Pathologists, American
Association of Blood Banks, and similar national accreditation agencies
or boards with whom VA has a contract or agreement to conduct such
reviews but only to the extent that the information is necessary and
relevant to the review.
9. Disclosure may be made to a national certifying body that has
the authority to make decisions concerning the issuance, retention, or
revocation of licenses, certifications, or registrations required to
practice a health care profession, when requested in writing by an
investigator or supervisory official of the national certifying body
for the purpose of making a decision concerning the issuance,
retention, or revocation of the license, certification, or registration
of a named health care professional.
10. Records from this system that contain information listed in 5
U.S.C. 7114(b)(4) may be disclosed to officials of labor organizations
recognized under 5 U.S.C. Chapter 71 when relevant and necessary to
their duties of exclusive representation concerning personnel policies,
practices, and matters affecting working conditions.

Commission when requested in connection with investigations of alleged
or possible discriminatory practices, examination of Federal
affirmative employment programs, or for other functions of the
Commission as authorized by law or regulation.
14. VA may disclose information to the Federal Labor Relations
Authority (including its General Counsel) information related to the
establishment of jurisdiction, the investigation and resolution of
allegations of unfair labor practices, or information in connection
with the resolution of exceptions to arbitration awards when a question
of material fact is raised; to disclose information in matters properly
before the Federal Services Impasses Panel, and to investigate
representation petitions and conduct or supervise representation
elections.
15. Disclosure of medical record data, excluding name and address,
unless name and address are furnished by the requester, may be made to
non-Federal research facilities for research purposes determined to be
necessary and proper when approved in accordance with VA policy.
16. Disclosure of name(s) and address(s) of present or former
personnel of the Armed Services, and/or their dependents, may be made
to: (a) a Federal department or agency, at the written request of the
head or designee of that agency; or (b) directly to a contractor or
subcontractor of a Federal department or agency, for the purpose of
conducting Federal research necessary to accomplish a statutory purpose
of an agency. When disclosure of this information is made directly to a
contractor, VA may impose applicable conditions on the department,
agency, and/or contractor to insure the appropriateness of the
disclosure to the contractor.
17. Disclosure may be made to individuals, organizations, private
or public agencies, or other entities or individuals with whom VA has a
[[Page 8248]]
contract or agreement to perform such services as VA may deem
practicable for the purposes of laws administered by VA, in order for
the contractor, subcontractor, public or private agency, or other
entity or individual with whom VA has an agreement or contract to
perform the services of the contract or agreement. This routine use
includes disclosures by the individual or entity performing the service
for VA to any secondary entity or individual to perform an activity
that is necessary for individuals, organizations, private or public
agencies, or other entities or individuals with whom VA has a contract
or agreement to provide the service to VA.
18. Disclosure may be made to a congressional office from the
record of an individual in response to an inquiry from the
congressional office made at the request of that individual.
19. VA may disclose information to a Federal agency for the conduct
of research and data analysis to perform a statutory purpose of that
Federal agency upon the prior written request of that agency, provided
that there is legal authority under all applicable confidentiality
statutes and regulations to provide the data and the VHA Office of
Information has determined prior to the disclosure that VHA data
handling requirements are satisfied.
20. Disclosure of limited individual identification information may
be made to another Federal agency for the purpose of matching and
acquiring information held by that agency for VHA to use for the
purposes stated for this system of records.
21. VA may, on its own initiative disclose any information or
records to appropriate agencies, entities, and persons when (1) VA
suspects or has confirmed that the integrity or confidentiality of
information in the system of records has been compromised; (2) VA has
determined that as a result of the suspected or confirmed compromise
there is a risk of embarrassment or harm to the reputations of the
record subjects, harm to economic or property interests, identity theft
or fraud, or harm to the security, confidentiality, or integrity of
this system or other systems or programs (whether maintained by VA or
another agency or entity) that rely upon the potentially compromised
information; and (3) the disclosure is to agencies, entities, or
persons whom VA determines are reasonably necessary to assist or carry
out VA's efforts to respond to the suspected or confirmed compromise
and prevent, minimize, or remedy such harm. This routine use permits
disclosures by VA to respond to a suspected or confirmed data breach,
including the conduct of any risk analysis or provision of credit
protection services as provided in 38 U.S.C. 5724, as the terms are
defined in 38 U.S.C. 5727.
22. On its own initiative, VA may disclose to the general public
via an Internet Web site, Primary Care Management Module information,
including the names of its providers, provider panel sizes and reports

directly connected with the conduct of programs and the utilization of
benefits under Title 38, or (b) to any criminal or civil law
enforcement governmental agency or instrumentality charged under
applicable law with the protection of the public health or safety, if a
qualified representative of such organization, agency, or
instrumentality has made a written request for such names or addresses
for a purpose authorized by law, provided that the records will not be
used for any purpose other than that stated in the request and that the
organization, agency, or instrumentality is aware of the penalty
provision of 38 U.S.C. 5701(f).
25. VA may disclose information, including demographic information,
to U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the
purpose of reducing homelessness among Veterans by implementing the
Federal strategic plan to prevent and end homelessness and by
evaluating and monitoring the HUD-Veterans Affairs Supported Housing
program.
26. VA may disclose health care information to the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA), or a person subject to the jurisdiction of the
FDA, with respect to FDA-regulated products, for purposes of reporting
adverse events; product defects or problems, or biological product
deviations; tracking products; enabling product recalls, repairs, or
