See RSD within Project Docs folder for specifics on proposed changes to CAPRI
The Compensation and Pension Record Interchange (CAPRI) project is an information technology initiative to improve service to disabled Veterans by promoting efficient communication between the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) and the Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA). Online access to medical data enhances the timeliness of the benefits determination. Previous attempts to automate this process were hindered by the "roll and scroll" nature of the VHA computer interface of the Automated Medical Information Exchange (AMIE). The CAPRI software acts as a bridge between the VBA and VHA information systems. It offers VBA Rating Veteran Service Representatives and Decision Review Officers help in building the rating decision documentation through online access to medical data. It also offers VHA Compensation and Pension (C&P) staff an easy, standardized way of recording C&P Examination reports.
