| 48 | Introducti on | |
| 49 | One of the requireme nts of the Community Care Prog ram (CCP) is to impr ove Vetera n support through au tomated Co mmunity Ca re Eligibi lity Deter mination a nd interfa ce with Ge ocoding, D riving Dis tance, Wai t-Time, an d Title 38 Care data . The Enro llment Sys tem (ES) i s identifi ed as the source to collect Ge ocoding, W ait-Time a nd Care in formation, and to ma ke Communi ty Care el igibility determinat ions based on that d ata. ES co llects and sends Com munity Car e informat ion to the Third-Par ty Adminis trator (TP A), so tha t TPA can contact Ve terans who are eligi ble to rec eive Commu nity Care services. | |
| 50 | ES uses an Exchange, Transform , and Load (ETL) mec hanism to extract Wa it-Time an d Care inf ormation f rom the Co rporate Da ta Warehou se (CDW), request an d process Geocoding informatio n from the Planning System Sup port Group (PSSG) an d to deter mine Commu nity Care eligibilit y. The ETL process r uns in a b atch mode at various intervals . The rea l-time Com munity Car e eligibil ity determ ination in ES uses t he current data on f ile. | |
| 51 | In the fut ure, PSSG is plannin g to host a web serv ice that c an be acce ssed on-de mand to co llect Geoc oding info rmation. T his will f urther imp rove near real-time determinat ion. | |
| 52 | The wait-t ime inform ation extr action fro m CDW must be perfor med on an ETL server . This inf ormation i s extracte d daily at end-of-th e-day. The Community Care elig ibility de terminatio n will use current w ait-time d ata on fil e in ES. | |
| 53 | The Title 38 Care in formation provided b y VSSC (VH A Support Service Ce nter) must be extrac ted on an ETL server . This inf ormation i s extracte d daily at end-of-th e-day. The Community Care elig ibility de terminatio n will use current C are data o n file in ES. | |
| 54 | Purpose | |
| 55 | The purpos e of this document i s to descr ibe system component s and proc esses used for real- time Commu nity Care eligibilit y determin ation in t he ES appl ication. | |
| 56 | Scope | |
| 57 | This docum ent descri bes the st eps to be performed in Enrollm ent System applicati on and on ETL server . | |
| 58 | ||
| 59 | System Com ponents an d Processe s | |
| 60 | Geocoding and Drivin g Distance | |
| 61 | The Proces sES_PSSG E TL project will dete rmine reco rds to be sent to PS SG for geo coding bas ed on addr ess update s. The PSS G response will be p rocessed a nd a geoco ding flag and geocod ing result will be d etermined for each V eteran. | |
| 62 | ProcessES_ PSSG ETL P roject | |
| 63 | The reques t ES_PSSG_ Delta ETL job will s can the AD R.ADDRESS table for records wi th GEOCODI NG_REQUIRE D_IND colu mn value o f ‘Y’ and will only include th ese record s in the r equest to PSSG. When the recor d is inclu ded in req uest table , it will update GEO CODING_REQ UIRED_IND column in ADR.ADDRES S to ‘I’ t o indicate geocoding is in pro cess. | |
| 64 | ||
| 65 | The respon se PSSG_ES _Delta ETL job perfo rms the fo llowing: | |
| 66 | Updates (o r inserts a record) ADR.GEOCOD E_TRANSMIT table wit h response from PSSG . | |
| 67 | Updates GE OCODING_RE QUIRED_IND column in ADR.ADDRE SS to ‘N’, only if i t was set to ‘I’. | |
| 68 | Updates VC E_RECALC_R EQUIRED_IN D column t o ‘Y’ in A DR.VCELIGI BILITY tab le, if eit her the DR IVING_DIST ANCE or GE OCODE_STAT ION_ID has changed f rom its pr evious val ue. If the re is no r ecord exis ting in AD R.VCELIGIB ILITY, ins erts a new record wi th VCESTAT USTYPE=’ND ’. | |
| 69 | ||
| 70 | The ES_PSS G_Monthly ETL job pr ocesses al l active r ecords for enrolled Veterans w ith Grandf athered st atus. The response P SSG_ES_Mon thly ETL j ob perform s the foll owing: | |
| 71 | Updates (o r inserts a record) ADR.GEOCOD E_TRANSMIT table wit h response from PSSG for all ~ 9M record s. | |
| 72 | Updates VC E_RECALC_R EQUIRED_IN D column t o ‘Y’ in A DR.VCELIGI BILITY tab le, if eit her the DR IVING_DIST ANCE or GE OCODE_STAT ION_ID has changed f rom its pr evious val ue. If the re is no r ecord exis ting in AD R.VCELIGIB ILITY, ins erts a new record wi th VCESTAT USTYPE=’ND ’. | |
| 73 | ||
| 74 | The Update GeocodingF lag ETL jo b will rec alculate t he geocodi ng flag an d geocodin g result t ext for ea ch record in Geocode _Transmit database t able, base d on new V CE paramet ers. | |
| 75 | ES ADR.ADD RESS UPDAT E | |
| 76 | ES will up date the G EOCODING_R EQUIRED_IN D column i n ADR.ADDR ESS table to a value of ‘Y’ wh en there i s a change in the ad dress. Al l address updates ma de in the ES applica tion will be routed through th e ContactI nfoRuleSer vice. A ch ange in th e address will be de tected by comparing the addres s of incom ing and on -file pers ons. | |
| 77 | Wait Time Data Extra ct from CD W | |
| 78 | The Proces sCDW_ES ET L project will extra ct wait-ti me data wi th the des ired appoi ntment dat e within t he past tw o years. I f a record of an app ointment o lder than two years exists in wait-time data, the record is removed fr om ADR.WAI TTIME. If a record o f an appoi ntment no longer exi sts in wai t-time dat a, the rec ord is rem oved from the ADR.WA ITTIME. Al l other ap pointment records ar e updated with the n ew days el apsed valu e. | |
| 79 | The CDW_ES ETL job w ill update VCE_RECAL C_REQUIRED _IND colum n to ‘Y’ i n ADR.VCEL IGIBILITY table if a ny new wai t-time rec ord for a Veteran is inserted into ADR.W AITTIME or a wait-ti me record is removed from ADR. WAITTIME. | |
| 80 | Note: The wait-time data extra ct only in cludes har dship rela ted data f or Air, Bo at and Fer ry and Geo -burden ha rdships. | |
| 81 | Care data provided b y VSSC | |
| 82 | The Proces sVSCC_ES E TL project will extr act Care d ata provid ed by VSSC and will update the records i n ADR data base. The Care data including Urgent car e is used to determi ne CCP eli gibility. | |
| 83 | Determinat ion of Com munity Car e Program Eligibilit y | |
| 84 | The real-t ime CCP el igibility determinat ion is imp lemented a s an ILOG rule in ES . The rule Determine VCE is a s ub-flow of existing DetermineE nrollment rule flow. | |
| 85 | When a new Veteran i s added or any updat e to the e nrollment status is made, or a Veteran i s re-enrol led, the D etermineEn rollment r ules will be execute d. The Det ermineVCE rules will be execut ed as part of Determ ineEnrollm ent, thus providing real-time determinat ion of CCP eligibili ty. | |
| 86 | The Missio n Act, whi ch goes in to effect on June 6, 2019, wil l have sev eral chang es made to the curre nt Communi ty Care el igibility. CCP eligi bility, fo r all enro lled Veter ans, will be recalcu lated on t he effecti ve date wi th new rul es for Gra ndfatherin g on exist ing eligib le Veteran s. All new Veterans enrolled o n or after the effec tive date, will be a ssigned CC P eligibil ity throug h new Miss ion Act ru les. | |
| 87 | ||
| 88 | The Determ ineVCE wil l follow t he flow as shown in the diagra m below an d rules as per the U se Case Sp ecificatio n - Determ ine Commun ity Care P rogram (CC P) Eligibi lity docum ent. | |
