Originally named bunny1 and open sourced, it’s what we use to navigate across all tools, wikis, knowledge bases, and everything else one might use working at Facebook. You can also contact VA’s Office of the Chief Human Capital Officer at 51, Monday thru Friday, 7 a.m. One of my favorite tools that exists internally is our smart bookmarking tool commonly referred to as bunnylol.

Our commitment to digital and IT transformation is shaped by daily dedication to customer service and the close collaboration of our workforce, managers, and leaders. These tools also open the door to even more innovation of the IT and AI products that VA staff can use to do their jobs serving Veterans. One goal is to attach special priority labels to claims-for example, those submitted by homeless Veterans.Īs OIT continues to modernize and improve customer service, new tools like CCPS help VA make inroads to faster claims processing. Given the success thus far, plans are already underway for the next version of CCPS. OIT used the previous system’s fail cases to improve the predictions model by “teaching” CCPS to handle system failure cases. To create CCPS, VBA mapped disability claim descriptions to VA-approved classifications using Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning. Even a missing dot over an “i” was a problem because, without the dot, VA’s Digits 2 Digits system read the “i” as a “1.” In the past, when a Veteran’s written entry on the Disability Compensation Form did not perfectly match a technical classification, VBMS was unable to process the claim without staff review. For example, if a Veteran indicates, “ringing in my ears,” CCPS classifies it as “Hearing Loss,” so the Veteran can get an appointment with an audiologist. The tool reads what a Veteran wrote as their current disability on a Disability Compensation Form and uses complex artificial intelligence (AI) to match that entry to a technical classification in the Veterans Benefits Management System (VBMS). Previously, VBA only processed about two percent of disability compensation claims automatically.ĬCPS is the first machine-learning API implemented at VA.

The tool automatically performs repetitive tasks that formerly required staff review and input.ĭuring its first week of use, CCPS helped VA establish 3,994 out of 8,368 claims (48 percent) automatically without the need for manual intervention. VA’s Office of Information and Technology (OIT), working collaboratively in partnership with Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA), developed and implemented CCPS to reduce the average time to establish Veteran disability compensation claims by three and a half days.ĬCPS is also helping VA improve service to Veterans by increasing the speed and accuracy of disability claims reviews. The tool’s name isn’t easy to remember-Content Classification Predictive Service (CCPS) Application Programming Interface (API)-but the results are certainly hard to ignore. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is using a new machine-learning tool to deliver these benefits to Veterans more quickly. Veterans deserve fast access to their disability benefits.
