VA Information Resource Center
VHA Decision Support System (DSS) - Access
|
Production Data
Access to facility or VISN-level production data
is requested through the local or VISN DSS Manager.
Once the data of interest are identified, the local
site DSS staff will generate requested reports.
A national level pull of selected data from the
production databases can be obtained from the Decision
Support Office (DSO) by special request. Creation
of such a dataset may require complex data queries
and may incur costly processing fees.
DSS National Data Extracts in SAS Datasets
Using national DSS SAS datasets maintained at the Austin Information Technology Center (AITC formerly: CFD; formerly: AAC)
requires a TSO user
account with permission to utilize the particular dataset(s) needed. Detailed
information on how to request access to VHA databases is part of the VIReC Toolkit
For New Users of VA Data.
In addition, requestors must complete an "Agreement
Not To Disclose Data .
Summary Reports
Access to the summary reports on the VSSC Web site requires a VHA facility
signon and password. Longer reports may also require an Austin Information Technology Center (AITC formerly: CFD; formerly: AAC)
Time Sharing
Option (TSO) account and approval to use the DSS National Data Extracts.
The longer reports may be sent to the user via the Austin Information Technology Center (AITC formerly: CFD; formerly: AAC)
