    AbstractThe Department of Veterans' Affairs (VA) has reported over 10,000 Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) cases since the beginning of the epidemic. These cases were distributed throughout 152 of the VA's network of 172 medical centers and outpatient clinics. This network of health care facilities presents a unique opportunity to provide computer based information systems for clinical care and resource monitoring for these patients. The VA further facilitates such a venture through its commitment to the Decentralized Hospital Computer Program (DHCP). This paper describes a new application within DHCP known as the VA's HIV Registry. This project addresses the need to support clinical information as well as the added need to manage the resources necessary to care for HIV patients.
