The U.S Department of Veterans Affairs, Office of Rural Health has initiated a new program, VLER Health, to support our local Veterans, VA physicians, and non-VA healthcare providers. This program aims to improve the coordination of care of between our VA doctors and other providers in our area.

What is VLER?

VLER Health is a program that shares certain parts of your Veteran health record between the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), the Department of Defense (DoD), and selected private health care providers over a secure and confidential network known as the eHealth Exchange. This program is free and voluntary for all Veterans.

How might VLER Health benefit me?

Many Veterans receive a portion of their care from non-VA health care providers. Sharing certain parts of your Electronic Health Record (EHR) will help reduce the need for patients and families to carry records between health care providers as well as allow your private health care provider to make more informed decisions about your care. In an emergency, immediate access to additional health care information could save your life. VA will be able to share the following medical information with VLER Health approved providers (not a complete list):

  • Allergies
  • Surgical History
  • Medications
  • Some Laboratory Results (Chemistry and Hematology)
  • Medical Conditions
  • Discharge Summaries
  • Immunizations
  • Procedure Notes

How can Veterans participate?

Simply visit the Release of Information Office (ROI) at the James H Quillen VA Medical Center located at the main campus in Mountain Home, TN. Fill out the VA Authorization (VA Form 10-0485) and turn it in to your local representative. Or simply login to https://www.ebenefits.va.gov and click ACCESS MY DOCUMENTS / MANAGE MY AUTHORIZATIONS AND PREFERENCES (VLER).
