VINCI

The VA Informatics and Computing Infrastructure (VINCI) is a partner with the Corporate Data Warehouse and hosts all data available through CDW. For CDW access please contact VINCI@VA.GOV.

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Office of Information & Technology, has the mission to provide a high-performance business intelligence infrastructure through standardization, consolidation and streamlining of clinical data systems. Toward this end OI&T has built the Corporate Data Warehouse (CDW) and 4 Regional Data Warehouses (RDW1-4)

The CDW program is central to business management, clinical and administrative research, and healthcare system innovation.
