Veterans Employment Development

Manage Veterans Employment Development Planning

McLane Advanced Technologies’ (MAT) web-based Veterans Employment Development Planner (VEDP) assists case managers in tracking progress in employment planning and identifies barriers to employment. MAT VEDP provides a secure portal that allows your organization to manage its entire employment development processes from any office location throughout the U.S. Employment development information can be input into a database by multiple users and is stored in a standardized, secure environment. The result is faster processing, higher return to work rates, and better service to Veterans.

Workflows

To coordinate and streamline its business processes, the VEDP module incorporates a workflow to ensure
essential steps are documented as Veterans progress through the employment development plan. Steps are
enforced by using business rules and permissions, enabling case managers to build a plan, establish goals,
document notes, and track progress. The plan’s status is updated as the Veteran works through his or her plan.

Reporting

In addition to a daily claims log report that displays activity by type, office or date, users can monitor
performance by office and area to ensure goals are being met. Reports of the top six-measures for monthly,
quarterly, and annual bases are available as well as activity reports by offices. All reports can be exported in
several formats, allowing further analysis by managers.

Data Import

The capability to preserve existing data while adding new details is the key to a complete and accurate database.
Use of XML enables a wide variety of data sources, so your office can compile the various pieces of data into one
complete system. Imports can be executed multiple times from a variety of source files or existing databases. As
the new data is added, old data is preserved creating a high level of organization and efficiency. In addition, no
duplicate data is allowed ensuring Veterans’ records are unique and accurate.

Security /Privacy

To guarantee claims information is transferred securely, the VEDP system uses a
versatile security protocol to allow administrators to define user roles and levels
of access throughout the application. This allows secure claims information to be
viewed by users based on your organization’s needs (VA accreditation, assigned
POA, supervisory level, regional office, state headquarters). Each Veteran can be
associated with an individual office or counselor and each office can be connected
with a group of offices. To ensure privacy, access can be set so that users only see
records associated within their office groups. Access can also be set so that only
accredited counselors with a specific POA can view a particular veteran’s records.
