- Request for Information Logistics and Prosthetics Graphical User Interface Overlay The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Veterans Health Administration (VHA) has currently deployed a Logistics and Prosthetics Graphical User Interface (GUI) Overlay to Veterans Information Systems and Technology Architecture (VistA) for users at 141 VA Medical Centers (VAMCs) and a training instance at the Veterans Affairs Acquisition Academy (VAAA). The software package provides a tiered control and implementation of standardized national, Veteran Integrated Service Network (VISN), and VAMC business rules, controls, data management and standardization required to perform the functions relating to VistA s Integrated Funds Distribution, Control Point Activity, Accounting and Procurement (IFCAP); General Inventory Package (GIP), Automated Engineering Management System/Medical Equipment Reporting System (AEMS/MERS), Prosthetics Inventory Package (PIP), Prosthetics and Sensory Aids Services (PSAS), and provides enterprise reporting and data integration services.
