Virtual Care Manager
You must be on the VA network or VPN in order to launch the app through your internet browser.
Introduction
Virtual Care Manager integrates telehealth and digital health solutions into Veteran care. It enables VA health care providers to easily view all appointments – video, phone, and in-person – in one place with a unified schedule. Providers can also create*, edit, and join video visits and access emergency support information. Virtual Care Manager allows providers to request photos and videos from patients and draft notes to send to CPRS, view patient-generated health data (PGHD), and access condition-specific dashboards to enhance care for Veterans.
Notice: Virtual Care Manager does not place an appointment in VistA. To schedule future video visits, please work with your clinic schedulers.
Important Launch Requirements:
- You must be on the VA network.
- You must have VistA login credentials that include the OR CPRS GUI CHART secondary menu option.
- If needed, work with your local Health Informatics Specialist, Information Security Officer (ISO) or Information Resource Management (IRM) staff to have these menus added.
- Ensure that you have a PIV card that is linked to the same VistA instance(s) for which you have the required secondary menu options in step 2. Note: If you are transferring from one VA facility to another VA facility then you may need to link your PIV to your new facility’s VistA instance.
- If you need assistance, please contact the Connected Care Help Desk at: 866-651-3180.
