Disability Mediation Service (DMS)
Abstract
"Disability Mediation Service (DMS): The VTA (Veteran’s Tracking Application) has been the primary system to track, record, and report data for the IDES (Integrated Disability Evaluation System) process. The VTA is scheduled to sun-set, by VA (Veterans Affairs), and the data is being moved to another application. Migration of VTA to another application creates the requirement to allow data exchange between Service non-medical case management and new VA DES (Disability Evaluation System) IT application. The BEC (Benefits Executive Council) is looking to create a DMS (Disability Mediation Service), which is an integrator between the Services and VA. The DMS will facilitate the improvement of non-medical case management tracking and IDES data/information management. It will eliminate redundant data entry within DoD (Department of Defense), improving data quality by capturing more data for operational reporting from the Services and WCP, decrease backlog by eliminating data entry duplication, and minimize impact to DoD Services by allowing the Services to continue using their existing/planned systems without requiring retraining on a new applications. The DMS will be created from existing technology. It will provide a mediation service to help isolate each system from changes and uniqueness in the other systems and allow the Services and WCP to report and drill down on data that we capture during the exchange. This IT solution will not replace current DoD systems, but will require some modifications and enhancements to those systems to support the date exchange. WCP will support development costs for these efforts. Services will assume responsibility and POM costs for modifications, enhancements, and maintenance in the out years."
