Health Summaries are customized reports comprising VistA components specified by end users. Most of these summaries were developed by the VHA facilities. Regional Offices can create special summaries that will appear on the menu. The Veterans Administration Regional Office (VARO) St. Petersburg, in cooperation with the Veterans Integrated Service Network, VISN 8, developed a Health Summary called VARO Rating, which contains components specified by RVSRs to facilitate their work process. To develop a custom Health Summary, the user must contact the VHA facility’s IRM. The VARO Rating Health Summary in VISN 8 facilities include the following VistA components: demographics, imaging impressions, past and future clinic appointments, admissions and discharges, discharge summaries, progress notes, surgery reports, and medications. In addition to the reports on the menu, the user can create one-time Ad Hoc reports for use with a particular case.
