Obama Offers Plan to Break VA Claim Backlog

Shortly after visiting U.S. troops in Iraq in April, President Barack Obama ad- dressed an authence of wounded veterans to announce the government’s progress in its effort to streamline the military’s health- care system by transitioning to electronic health records of active-duty troops and vet- erans, part of the Joint Virtual Lifetime Electronic Initiative between the Department of Defense and the Department of Veterans Affairs. The president said the plan should help reduce the current six-month backlog in disability claims at the VA and lower other bureaucratic hurdles veterans now face.

“The Department of Defense and the Department of Veterans Affairs have taken a first step towards creating one unified lifetime electronic health record for members of our armed services that will contain their administrative and medical information-from the day they enlist to the day that they are laid to rest,” the president said. “Currently, there is no comprehensive system in place that allows for a streamlined transition of health records between DoD and the VA. And that’s why I’m asking both departments to work together to define and build a seamless system of integration with a simple goal: When a member of the Armed Forces separate from the military, he or she will no longer have to walk paperwork from a DoD duty station to a local VA health center; their electronic records will transition along with them and remain with them forever.”

The president said his proposed budget includes the largest single-year increase in VA funding in three decades and supports an unprecedented effort to address posttraumatic stress disorder. In addition to the 33,000 wounded in the wars the nation is currently fighting, demand for VA medical services continues to rise from the millions of veterans from World War II, Korea, Vietnam and the first Gulf War.
