In terms of interoperability and who else we partner with for that, we currently have some national work taking place that's looking at creating the health information technology standardization through which we can then partner and move this information wherever the veteran seeks care, whether that's within the VA or outside. We're not yet at the point at which we have broad interoperability with the private sector. That work is being led by the Department of Health and Human Services. It's similar in some ways to the Infoway activity within Canada. We need that to be successful before we'll have broad interoperability.
We do, though, have some interoperability for public health reporting, so since we do have all our diagnoses and our symptomatology captured electronically, we're able to send that to our Department of Health and Human Services and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. They are then able to aggregate that information across the country from other entities that are sending in similar information. They are able to do some tracking across the country. That information, once it leaves, is sent to CDC and then is aggregated; of course, it's completely anonymized as to who it came from.
In terms of working ahead of time--and this sounds more like the clinical process of trying to pre-screen people--we really don't do that. I'll defer to my colleague, Gail Graham, who may add to this.
Very much we are trying to increase our transparency into the DOD process for them as well as us at the time of hand-off, which is very much toward the end of service, so once someone has returned from the theatre and is being treated--for example, at Walter Reed Army Medical Center--they will actually meet a VA employee who will help with that transition point.
I'll defer to Ms. Graham to see if she has anything to add.
