ACTION: Notice of a modified system of records. AGENCY: Community Care Referrals and Authorization (CCRA) is an enterprise-wide system used by facility community care staff to generate referrals and authorizations for Veterans receiving care in the community. VA community care staff and non-VA staff use this solution to enhance Veteran access to care.

CCRA also allows Veterans and non-VA medical facilities to request VA authorization of emergent and urgent Veteran care. DATES: Comments on this modified system of records must be received no later than 30 days after date of publication in the Federal Register. If no public comment is received during the period allowed for comment or unless otherwise published in the Federal Register by VA, the modified system of records will become effective a minimum of 30 days after date of publication in the Federal Register.

Telephone number: (518) 449–0600. (This is not a toll-free number.) CCRA is an enterprise-wide solution in support of the Veterans Access, Choice, and Accountability Act of 2014 (Pub. L. 113–146) (‘‘Choice Act’’), as amended by the VA Expiring Authorities Act of 2014 (Pub. L. 113–175), to generate referrals and authorizations for Veterans receiving care in the community. VA clinical providers and Non-VA clinical providers will access a cloud-based software system to request and refer clinical care for Veterans with Community Care providers. This solution will enhance Veteran access to care by utilizing a common and modern system to orchestrate the complex business of VA referral management. The CCRA solution is an integral component of the VA Community Care (CC) Information Technology (IT) architecture, and will track and share health care information and correspondence necessary for Veterans to be seen for appropriate and approved episodes of CC. Additionally, CCRA allows Veterans and non-VA-medical facilities to request VA authorization of emergent and urgent Veteran care. The CCRA solution will allow the VA to move to a process that generates standardized referrals and authorizations, according to clinical and business rules. The CCRA project provides HealthShare Referral manager by InterSystems as the CCRA solution. HealthShare Referral Manager is a commercial off-the-shelf software product that is hosted in an Amazon Web Services (AWS) FedRAMP High Gov cloud and is planned for enterprise integration with VA systems, both inside and outside of CC. Two additional Routine Uses are listed in this Modified SORN and are detailed in a later section. These Routine Uses directly relate to the referral process utilized by the CCRA solution.

PURPOSE(S) OF THE SYSTEM: CCRA is an enterprise-wide system used by community care staff to automatically generate referrals and authorizations for all Veterans receiving care in the community. The system is an integral component of the VA community care information technology (IT) architecture, and allows Veterans to receive care from community providers within the Community Care Network through the Veterans Choice Program.

The exchange of health care information and authorizations enhances VA’s ability to ensure that Veterans receive the best health care available to address their medical needs. The CCRA system also enabled the VA to move from what is currently a largely manual process to an automated process that generates standardized referrals and authorizations according to clinical and business rules.
