BACKGROUND
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Office of Information & Technology (OIT), Evidence Synthesis Program (ESP), Research and Development Service, VA Portland Health Care System (VAPORHCS) strives to provide high quality, effective, and efficient Information Technology (IT) services to those responsible for providing care to the Veterans at the point-of-care as well as throughout all the points of the Veterans’ health care in an effective, timely and compassionate manner.
