Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment (VR&E) employees require the ability to refer a veteran to a medical center for the purpose of specific types of exams or opinions in order to determine VR&E benefits.
This feature enables users to create an electronic request for medical services, track those requests and print reports. A consult is created outside the CAPRI application. The request can be linked to the consult by a VHA Coordinator. Notifications are sent to both VR&E Counselor (via Outlook) and VHA Coordinator (via MAILMAN) when the 28-8861 form status is updated. A nightly background job monitors consults that are linked to the 28-8861 file.
