ADVANCE VETERAN-CENTERED INTEROPERABILITY
Join us in making a difference in Veteran care
VIP Community of Practice members have a unique opportunity to shape the future of Veteran interoperability by influencing the standards, workflows, and recommendations that determine how Veterans are recognized and served across VA and community care settings. Members bring clinical, technical, policy, and operational perspectives to a forum where VA hears and considers them.
WHY JOIN

Collaborating with cross-sector peers
Work alongside health system leaders, EHR developers, payers, academic researchers, and federal partners in a neutral, vendor-agnostic setting focused on shared outcomes.
Bringing domain expertise to the table

Accessing shared knowledge

Discussions and materials do not represent VA policy or procurement activity, do not confer competitive advantage, and proprietary or procurement-sensitive information will not be shared. Participation in the Pledge Community of Practice may cause an organizational conflict of interest for future VA procurement opportunities, which will then be governed by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR).
