Description: VA Provider Desktop (VAPD) is document management software. This software may be configured to capture data from various medical documentation such as patient encounter forms. This software provides a framework that delivers Veterans Health Information Systems and Technology Architecture (VistA)-integrated, browser-based, software to VA providers that may be used to facilitate and improve documentation, coding, and problem list management.

A Cache database is used to connect the VAPD application Server to a VistA data server configured through the Cache Enterprise Cache Protocol (ECP) Networking to permit using the VistA data server regardless of the operating system on which it is running. The system will store data in VistA via a VAPD Server, using Cache ECP Networking, and encrypt data in transit between the VAPD Server and the browser using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) if SSL is enabled.
