SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background: VHA is the largest health care provider in the country. In order to maintain this organization, VHA collects patient health data, financial data, employee data, and patient entered data for patient care, decision support, population studies, research, behavior profiling, workflow integration and other business intelligence applications. The data is entered and stored in the appropriate system of record. I. Description of Proposed Systems of Records: The proposed system of record identifies data warehouses that contains health information such as patient assessments, diagnoses, treatments, tests, and pharmaceutical data. The records include information created or collected during the course of normal clinical and administrative work and is provided by employees, students, volunteers, caregivers, contractors, subcontractors, and consultants. It also contains patient self-entered data and patient financial information provided by patients or other governmental agencies. All data collected by the organization and centrally stored in the Corporate Data Warehouse (CDW) provides a central source of data that supports the delivery of health care, supports management decision making, allows for performance measurement, and provides a rich resource for VHA research. The CDW is located in Austin, Texas. VA delivers information technology support by dividing the United States into four regions. Each region contains a regional data warehouse (RDW) that may contain some or all of the CDW content. PO 00000 Frm 00057 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 4377 VHA uses data stored in data warehouses to prepare various management, tracking, and follow-up reports necessary for the effective operation of VHA as it plans for and then delivers quality health care, which includes evaluating patient eligibility, benefits and care services; monitoring the distribution and utilization of resources including provider panel management; tracking disease and patient outcomes; program review, accreditation and licensing; quality assurance audits and investigations; law enforcement investigations; and measuring Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN) performance. The data may be used to validate labor policies and practices and be extracted or interrogated by VA researchers in accordance with established protocols. The data warehouses covered by this system of records are identified and listed with their physical location in Appendix A. II. Proposed Routine Use Disclosures of Data in the System: 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), that information cannot be disclosed under a routine use unless there is also specific statutory authority permitting disclosure. VHA is proposing the following routine use disclosures of information to be maintained in the system: 1. On its own initiative, VA may disclose information, except for the names and home addresses of veterans and their dependents, to a Federal, State, local, tribal, or foreign 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. 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. VA must be able to comply with the requirements of agencies charged with enforcing the law and conducting investigations. VA must also be able to provide information to State or local agencies charged with protecting the public’s health as set forth in State law. E:\FR\FM\27JAN1.SGM 27JAN1
