Title: VSO Access to VHA Electronic Health Records, VA Form 10-
0400.
OMB Control Number: 2900-0710.
Type of Review: Revision of a previously approved collection.
Abstract: The information is being used to establish VA Veterans
Health Information Systems Technology Architecture (VistA) computer
accounts for Veteran Service Officers (VSO's) who have been granted
Power Of Attorney by veterans who have medical information recorded in
VA electronic health records. This information is collected under the
authority of Title 38, CFR Parts 51 and 52, Veterans Benefits.
The information will be used by VHA Office of Health Information
Governance and/or contractors to create accounts in the VistA computer
system for VSO's. The information collected is used for a national
roll-out of a project targeted at providing more efficient benefits
processing services to veterans. The VistA system requires a minimal
set of data to create an account, which has been reflected on the form.
After the initial roll-out, the burden to the government will be
minimal, only involving VSO staff turnover.
Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 17 hours.
Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 2 minutes.
Frequency of Response: Yearly.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 500.
Dated: April 18, 2014.
By direction of the Secretary.
Crystal Rennie,
Department Clearance Officer, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
