When compared to building custom solutions, adopting SaaS products can provide many potential benefits to VA, including faster delivery of capabilities, lower operational complexity, and higher-quality solutions.

The API pledge encourages health-care providers to commit to work collaboratively with VA to increase the mapping pace of health data to industry standards, including the current and future versions of Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR).

Microconsulting is an innovative procurement method being used across government to provide immediate, high-impact support from the private sector to address problems and opportunities that don’t require a full-blown (large) engagement.

Our open API framework enables rapid innovation in core VA functions—like Health, Benefits, Burial and Memorials—by adopting an outside-in, Veteran-centric approach to creating APIs that are managed as products and leveraged by developers within and outside of VA.
