The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Office of Information & Technology (OI&T), Identity and Access Management (IAM) has a requirement for Electronic Verification of Vital Events (EVVE) software. EVVE is a subscription service that is owned and developed by the National Association for Public Health Statistics and Information Systems (NAPHSIS), and used throughout the VA to verify identity information, specifically dates of birth and dates of death. EVVE provides an additional verification source of date of birth and date of death information to approve the accuracy of that data within the Master Patient Index (MPI). All of VA uses MPI as the authoritative source for this information. This will help prevent unnecessary prescriptions from being filled and allows for cancellations of deceased Veteran's appointments thereby freeing those appointments for active patients. It also provides the Veterans Health Administration with more accurate death information which will help prevent benefits checks from being inappropriately distributed to deceased Veterans. This information is imperative with VA’s Electronic Health Record Modernization integration to reconcile death information between VA and the Department of Defense.
