Veterans Affairs: Subcommittee Post-Hearing Questions Concerning the Department's Information Technology Management

Abstract

This letter responds to your October 10, 2002, request that we provide answers to questions relating to our testimony of September 26, 2002.1 At that hearing, we discussed the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) progress in improving its overall management of information technology, including the centralization of information technology functions, programs, and funding under the department-level chief information officer (CIO). We also discussed the departments progress since last March in developing an enterprise architecture, improving information security, and managing important information systems initiatives being pursued by the Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA) and the Veterans Health Administration (VHA).
