This patch contains the BCR Work Items completed during the DME contract period for the production deployment. Patch Components ================ The following describes each component of the BCR Patch 2.0*1 180506: Deploy Breast Care Registry (BCR) to Production Issue: BCR, formerly known as Breast Cancer Clinical Case Registry (BCCCR), was established to provide a registry of information about breast cancer screening, test results, treatment, and follow-up for clinical care and population surveillance of breast care. The registry provides a user interface for clinicians and coordinators to analyze and report registry data. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Breast Care Registry (BCR), formerly known as Breast Cancer Clinical Case Registry (BCCCR), was established to provide a registry of information about breast cancer screening, test results, treatment, and follow-up for clinical care and population surveillance of breast care. The registry provides a user interface for clinicians and coordinators to analyze and report BCR patient health metrics and data. BCR Version 2.0 enhances the existing BCR by completing the implementation of initial requirements; repairing legacy defects; ensuring report consistency; ensuring comprehensive data ingestion and accuracy from identified data sources; and deploying a fully functional national release of the registry. BCR v2.0 is a Web-based intranet registry application, residing within the Converged Registries Solution (CRS) architectural framework. The provider documents patient care encounters and enters the data into the Computerized Patient Record System/Veterans Health Information Systems and Technology Architecture (CPRS/VistA). 1) The patient data is securely stored in the Corporate Data Warehouse (CDW). This CDW data is also compiled from feeds from corresponding Regional Data Warehouse (RDW) and Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN) DataWarehouse (VDW) sources. 2) At regular intervals, the BCR database (residing within CRS) extracts data specific to the breast care patient cohort from CDW. The BCR Dashboard provides BCR users with quality patient data, including patient details and standard, aggregate and ad hoc reports. Depending on user permissions, data is available at the national, regional and local levels, allowing providers to evaluate effective treatment, quality care, scheduling, and planning for their specific cohort. The enhanced BCR provides the Women's Health Services of the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) with the ability to determine areas of improvement for the timely and quality care of Veterans, and to enhance the VHA's capacity to monitor long-term outcomes of BCR patients within Women's Health Services. Additional Information: --------------------------- Training Separate training sessions for IRM and users will be offered to each facility in a series of Live Meeting conference calls on the VANTS Bridge. Listed below are the points of contact for BCR administration, troubleshooting and information: Sally Haskell, MD, BCR Business Owner and Deputy Chief Consultant for Women's Health Services: Sally.Haskell@domain.ext Yvette Williams, MD, Consultant, Women's Health Services: Christine.Williams@domain.ext Caitlin Cusack, MD, OIA Health Informatics: Caitlin.Cusack@domain.ext Christine Jasien, HR&D Database Manager, Atlanta: Christine.Jasien@domain.ext Drew Prescott, Registries Program Manager: Drew.Prescott@domain.ext ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: ======================= As a VA intranet Web site, BCR troubleshooting procedures will usually involve contacting the BCR network administrators or the NSD. Calls to the NSD should state that the user is working with the Converged Registries Solution and the Breast Care Registry. The NSD will then direct the trouble ticket to AITC, who will use established procedures to direct the problem to the CRS sustainment team.
