Bva Conversion To Electronic Claims Filing

[broncovet]

I thought I would give an example of how employees would be unable to delete Veterans claims.

I would like to see if ANYONE can Delete Larry's Hat (other than TBird, moderators, or Larry).

Everyone knows that would be in Veterans best interest.

Anyone who can do this please post Larry's picture without the hat.

Carlie..

Precisely. When a Veterans hat...er claim...did get deleted, there would be a very short list of possible suspects, and there would be an electronic record of the deletion. E-claims would reduce lost documents by 1000%, however, Larry's hat is still fair game to hackers.

bronco,

Last weeks world wide news,up to date full schematic's of the

Presidential Helicopter Marine One - were found on hard drives in

terrorist countries.

Nothing is safe. I do feel that when the VA goes paperless it may

become more efficient.

You are right. However, if we think our information is not already online, we are kidding ourselves.

All of the credit card companies and banks are online with our private information. All our medical records are already online within the VA. Most of us file our taxes online.

We need internet security, however, failing to convert the VBA from paper to online will not prevent any of our private information from being hacked, as a skilled hacker can already get our information online from other sources, such as our tax returns, bank accounts, VA medical records etc.

Vonapp (Voc Rehab) is already online, and is much, much faster than VA C&P.

The way it is now is that Vetrans have all the risk exposure of being online by hackers, but none of the benefits such as fast claim service. We might as well get the benefits of fast claim service since we are already exposed to the risks associated with identity theft and hacking.

If the VARO wants to slow up claims processing, be it on paper or electronically---they will do it.

And yes, whose to say that once all of your very sensitive medical information ends up in the hands of VAROs that it doesn't then end up on a removable disk somewhere at someone's house. Anyone....anyone, will have access to the electronic information nationwide. It's bad enough now that every VA employee has access to our medical records...imagine how it would be with every VA employee having access to your C-file????
