Federal Health IT Consulting Firm Avetus Partners Brings Deep VA Interoperability Expertise to The Green Technology Group’s Pledge Implementation Effort
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Green Technology Group, LLC (TGTG), a federal IT solutions company specializing in IT modernization, cybersecurity, and software development for government clients, today announced that it has selected Avetus Partners to provide implementation support for the VA’s Veteran Interoperability Pledge. Avetus Partners brings more than four decades of federal healthcare IT experience and a proven track record in health information exchange, interoperability standards, and VA systems integration to this critical mission.
About the Veteran Interoperability Pledge
Launched by the VA in October 2023, the Veteran Interoperability Pledge (VIP) is a landmark federal initiative designed to enable seamless, secure data exchange between VA facilities and community healthcare providers. The Pledge leverages open Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) to allow health systems to identify Veterans at the point of care, connect them with earned VA benefits and resources, and coordinate care across both VA and community settings—regardless of where a Veteran seeks treatment.
The Pledge was established with three core objectives:
- Accurately identify Veterans when they seek care from community providers
- Connect Veterans with VA and community resources that promote health and reduce out-of-pocket costs
- Reliably coordinate care for shared patients, including exchange of information about care requested and provided
In September 2024, the VA expanded the Pledge’s reach significantly, announcing that all hospital clients of Epic and Oracle Health—two of the largest electronic health record vendors in the United States—can now connect to VA systems via an open API to identify Veterans and connect them with earned benefits. Early outcomes from Pledge participants have demonstrated powerful results, including the identification of thousands of Veterans previously unknown to VA systems.
