Description

The Medical SAS system provides a variety of SAS-formatted files containing medical data for use by VA staff. These files, and the ability to create user files, are available by connecting to the Austin Information Technology Center (AITC) mainframe. SAS files publish unique patient statistics, utilization, financial and workload information and include extracts from the National Patient Care Database, the Patient Treatment File, the Administrative Data Repository and other databases located at the AITC.
