Section 315 amended section 605 of the FCRA to require the Agencies to issue regulations providing guidance regarding reasonable policies and procedures that a user of consumer reports must employ when a user receives a notice of address discrepancy from a consumer reporting agency (CRA). The information collections in § 41.90 require each financial institution and creditor that offers or maintains one or more covered accounts to develop and implement a written Identity Theft Prevention Program (Program). In developing the Program, financial institutions and creditors are required to consider the guidelines in Appendix J to part 41 and include those that are appropriate. The initial Program must be approved by the board of directors or an appropriate committee thereof and the board, an appropriate committee thereof or a designated employee at the level of senior management must be involved in the oversight of the Program. In addition, staff must be trained to carry out the Program. Pursuant to § 41.91, each credit and debit card issuer is required to establish and implement policies and procedures to assess the validity of a change of address request under certain circumstances. Before issuing an additional or replacement card, the card issuer must notify the cardholder or use another means to assess the validity of the change of address. The information collections in § 41.82 require each user of consumer reports to develop and implement reasonable policies and procedures designed to enable the user to form a reasonable belief that a consumer report relates to the consumer about whom it requested the report when the user receives a notice of address discrepancy from a CRA. A user of consumer reports must also develop and implement reasonable policies and procedures for furnishing an address for the consumer that the user has reasonably confirmed to be accurate to the CRA from which it receives a notice of address discrepancy when (1) the user can form a reasonable belief that the consumer report relates to the consumer about whom the user has requested the report; (2) the user establishes a continuing relationship with the consumer; and (3) the user regularly and in the ordinary course of business furnishes information to the CRA from which it received the notice of address discrepancy.

VerDate Nov<24>2008 17:51 May 07, 2009 Jkt 217001 The primary purpose of telephone care and service function is to provide veterans with clinical advice and education related to symptoms or problems an enrolled veteran caller may be experiencing. Calls may be made by family members but records of the calls will be maintained in the enrolled veteran’s record. Except in the case of emergencies, clinical advice and education may only be provided to enrolled veterans. In order to better track and retrieve information about previous calls, all records of calls will be maintained under the name of the enrolled veteran. Records will not be retrievable by the name of the caller. Telephone care and service provides another mode of access for veterans that is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week from any place in the country. The telephone care function acts as a part of the primary and ambulatory care delivery system and augments that system by providing advice to callers over the telephone. When patients or family members call with a concern or request, a record of the call is developed, whether it is a clinical or administrative issue. Clinical symptom calls are managed through the use of pre-approved clinical algorithms that ask a series of questions and based on the answers to each question moves to the next question, which eventually leads to the advice that is to be provided to the caller. The record of the call captures the questions asked, answers given, particularly those answers that reflect something abnormal, and the advice provided. Documentation of this type of information is consistent with standard requirements for medical record documentation, which captures symptoms and findings as they relate to how specific questions are answered and a plan of action established. This information is also recorded in the patient’s medical record. At a minimum, documentation includes the complaint(s) and symptoms of the enrolled veteran, the algorithm and/or protocol used and the advice given. Information is recorded either electronically in the progress notes of the medical record and in the Call Center database. Acting as a part of the PO 00000 Frm 00124 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 primary and ambulatory care delivery system, the telephone care function may provide private sector providers or facilities with relevant clinical information about enrolled veterans in urgent or emergent situations. Information such as allergies, results of recent lab tests, medications, recent health history or procedures may be provided. Telephone care and service for clinical symptom calls are provided in a number of ways, including contracts with private sector vendors, contracts with VA facilities or Networks that have developed clinical Call Centers, or through medical centerbased Call Centers in primary care and other types of clinics. A number of VA facilities and Networks are providing access to telephone care and service through clinics or medical center-based Call Centers during the day and through Network or contracted Call Centers during non-administrative hours. Protocols or algorithms are used at any of these sites when advice is given by a registered nurse without first consulting with a clinician and all of these calls must be documented in the medical record and Call Center database. Keeping records of all calls to a clinical Call Center in a separate database is the standard of practice for clinical Call Centers and is a required accreditation standard of the Utilization Review Accreditation Commission (URAC) for clinical Call Centers. Accreditation by URAC or another clinical Call Center accrediting body, if one should become available, is required for Regional or VISN call centers by the VHA Directive 2007–033 Telephone Service for Clinical Care. This system allows a record of all previous calls made by or for a veteran to be accessed whenever patients or family members call, which improves both the quality and the timeliness of addressing callers’ concerns. Records are generally collected and stored electronically for ease of retrieval by the veteran’s name or other personal identifier. The primary purpose of the data in this system of records is for rapid retrieval and ease of access to a record of all calls made by or for veterans, including the complaints of the patient, the findings according to the algorithms and the advice provided. This information is also used for followup calls to some patients. Information is also used for aggregation of data for the purposes of monitoring and improving quality. Though information is retrievable by individual patient identifier, when reporting aggregate information for purposes, such as quality, patient identifiers are not E:\FR\FM\08MYN1.SGM 08MYN1
