community care staff and non-VA staff
use this solution to enhance Veteran
access to care. CCRA is an integral
component of the community care
information technology architecture that
allows Veterans to receive care from
community providers. CCRA also allows
Veterans and non-VA medical facilities
to request VA authorization of emergent
and urgent Veteran care.

system of records must be received no
later than 30 days after date of
publication in the Federal Register. If
no public comment is received during
the period allowed for comment or

CCRA is
an enterprise-wide solution in support
of the Veterans Access, Choice, and
Accountability Act of 2014 (Pub. L.
113–146) (‘‘Choice Act’’), as amended
by the VA Expiring Authorities Act of
2014 (Pub. L. 113–175), to generate
referrals and authorizations for Veterans
receiving care in the community. VA
clinical providers and Non-VA clinical
providers will access a cloud-based
software system to request and refer
clinical care for Veterans with
Community Care providers. This
solution will enhance Veteran access to
care by utilizing a common and modern
system to orchestrate the complex
business of VA referral management.
The CCRA solution is an integral
component of the VA Community Care
(CC) Information Technology (IT)
architecture, and will track and share
health care information and
correspondence necessary for Veterans
to be seen for appropriate and approved
episodes of CC. Additionally, CCRA
allows Veterans and non-VA-medical
facilities to request VA authorization of
emergent and urgent Veteran care. The
CCRA solution will allow the VA to
move to a process that generates
standardized referrals and
authorizations, according to clinical and
business rules.
The CCRA project provides
HealthShare Referral manager by
InterSystems as the CCRA solution.
HealthShare Referral Manager is a
commercial off-the-shelf software
product that is hosted in an Amazon
Web Services (AWS) FedRAMP High
Gov cloud and is planned for enterprise
integration with VA systems, both
inside and outside of CC.
Two additional Routine Uses are
listed in this Modified SORN and are
detailed in a later section. These
Routine Uses directly relate to the
referral process utilized by the CCRA
solution.

PURPOSE(S) OF THE SYSTEM:

CCRA is an enterprise-wide system
used by community care staff to
automatically generate referrals and
authorizations for all Veterans receiving
care in the community. The system is an
integral component of the VA
community care information technology
(IT) architecture, and allows Veterans to
receive care from community providers
within the Community Care Network
through the Veterans Choice Program.
The CCRA system allows these
providers to view relevant patient and
clinical information from Veterans
Information Systems and Technology
Architecture (VistA). The exchange of
health care information and
authorizations enhances VA’s ability to
ensure that Veterans receive the best
health care available to address their
medical needs. The CCRA system also
enabled the VA to move from what is
currently a largely manual process to an
automated process that generates
standardized referrals and
authorizations according to clinical and
business rules. The automated process
