The Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) Interagency Comprehensive Plan (ICP) project establishes the Federal Case Management Tool (FCMT) as the standard platform for Veteran case management and the exchange of the Interagency Care Plan. The ICP, a care plan managed in FCMT, will allow multiple case managers (CMs) to collaborate on patient status and goals information outlined in the ICP. Initially, the ICP will allow collaboration between Veterans Health Administration (VHA) and Veterans Benefit Administration (VBA) CMs however, as required, interoperability will be established between the VA and Department of Defense (DoD) ICP’s.

The implementation and sharing of ICP will enable the VA and DoD to meet the Secretary of VA and the Secretary of Defense directive to develop an ICP. ICP directly supports the Interagency Care Coordination Committee (IC3) purpose to provide a more synchronized VA/DoD process to deliver care, benefits, and services to wounded, ill, and injured Warriors, Veterans, and their families.
