 is the mail order pharmacy service for the Veterans Administration. Over 75 million prescriptions are processed and mailed to veterans each year nationwide from 7 regional CMOP facilities. The Southeast Region facility, located in Murfreesboro, TN, maintains a staff of over 200 operations workers, supervisors and pharmacists, and processes over 70,000 prescriptions a day. The facility must maintain high security policies and procedures Policies and Procedures are a set of documents that describe an organization's policies for operation and the procedures necessary to fulfill the policies. They are often initiated because of some external requirement, such as environmental compliance or other governmental , such as security access via multiple identifications, audit trails and reporting, and contingency policies for Federal regulatory compliance.

National Data, Inc. was selected to design and install an enhanced security project for the Schedule Drug storage area, their highest security area within the facility. This area houses all narcotic and other highly monitored prescriptions. The project includes new multi-layer identification software which allows access into the storage area through a smart card or biometric identification, along with a manually entered secret access code. Additionally, the project requires the secure sharing of identification data within the facility in other applications and hardware. "The exciting aspect of this technology is the ability to provide secured access without a live guard," remarked Michael Barrett, JD, PhD, Managing Member of EconoGenesys, LLC (Logical Link Control) See "LANs" under data link protocol.

, a consultancy involved in the project. Dr Barrett adds, "The additional benefit of securely sharing identification data throughout the facility or even the enterprise allows the product to be shared in other workflows, thereby simplifying compliance within the very strict Federal regulatory guidelines." The value of the initial project was just under $25,000, but is expected to expand into other workflows and other facilities. Total potential project size can exceed $1 Million dollars. "We are very excited about this project, its scope, and its very recognizable client, and the way it establishes National Data's potential in this specialized field," stated Pierre Quilliam, President of Dicut.
