 VA Must Strengthen Management

 Of ADP Resources To

 Serve Veterans' Needs

 Weaknesses in management and use of data
 processing resources at the Veterans Admin-
 istration could adversely affect VA's ability to
 effectively serve the needs of veterans.
These weaknesses include

   --inadequate capacity planning that results
   in crises shortages of computer sup-
   port,

   --excessive reliance on noncompetitive ac-
   quisitions,

   -uncoordinated planning that results in
   incompatible systems, and

   -.failure to rank software investments ac-
   cording to priority and failure to effec-
   'tively control the implementation of
   those that are approved.

Although VA is taking steps to correct these
weaknesses, GAO recommends that the Con-
gress withhold further funding for the Health
Care Information System until satisfied they
have been corrected.
