  • Automate certain administrative processes, such as generate forms (e.g., release of information), wristbands and labels (e.g., labs)

Where can you find a Kiosk?

  • Kiosks are conveniently located in VA medical centers and community based outpatient clinics across the U.S. Most facilities have staff or volunteers dedicated to help assist Veterans in using the Kiosks.
