Institutionalizing New Capabilities That Drive Improved Outcomes

VA needs to deliver cutting-edge technology solutions if we want to keep up with emerging technology and evolving Veteran needs.

In 2017, we focused on investing in new capabilities for a modern VA by leveraging cloud and digital platforms while incorporating other modern and innovative technology, such as expanded telehealth, mobile devices, and digital services to increase access, engagement, and interoperability at VA.

Memorial Cemetery Management Modernization Phase 1 (CM1) Project

The Memorial Cemetery Management Modernization project supports our most sacred responsibility: to honor our deceased Veterans with the dignity owed by their ultimate sacrifice, as well as to provide Veteran families peace of mind.

The Memorial Cemetery Management Modernization Phase 1 (CM1) project will enable NCA to review, update, and validate Veteran case data in near real time, providing burial and memorial benefits information via NCA websites and mobile applications. In 2017, we configured a commercial off-the-shelf product to standardize and automate interment workflows and track the cemetery interment process to its completion. We now have the ability to upload a geographic database of cemeteries and see maps of gravesites for the interment process.
