Request for Information Logistics and Prosthetics Graphical User Interface Overlay The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Veterans Health Administration (VHA) has currently deployed a Logistics and Prosthetics Graphical User Interface (GUI) Overlay to Veterans Information Systems and Technology Architecture (VistA) for users at 141 VA Medical Centers (VAMCs) and a training instance at the Veterans Affairs Acquisition Academy (VAAA). The software package provides a tiered control and implementation of standardized national, Veteran Integrated Service Network (VISN), and VAMC business rules, controls, data management and standardization required to perform the functions relating to VistA s Integrated Funds Distribution, Control Point Activity, Accounting and Procurement (IFCAP); General Inventory Package (GIP), Automated Engineering Management System/Medical Equipment Reporting System (AEMS/MERS), Prosthetics Inventory Package (PIP), Prosthetics and Sensory Aids Services (PSAS), and provides enterprise reporting and data integration services. This Logistics and Prosthetics GUI Overlay was installed and trained at all VAMCs and the VAAA between August 2016 and July 2017. Since then, additional VA (non-VAMC) groups have requested the GUI product to help streamline their workload and business processes. The VA continues to utilize the GUI product but will slowly transition to other software tools and applications to meet its Logistics and Prosthetics needs. The site-by-site migration will occur over a number of years, and the transition schedule for Above PAR (APAR) and Advanced Prosthetics Acquisition Tool (APAT) users at each site will be different.
