Using Public App Stores and Apps Overview Public App Stores are available on mobile devices for providers and staff participating in VA’s Mobile
Health Provider Program and other VA Mobile programs. Commercial mobile apps downloaded from
Public App Stores can enhance the way care is delivered by expanding the functionality of the mobile device and assist with other IT and administrative functions. For example, commercial mobile apps can provide:
Convenient access to real-time information
Easy access to medical tools
Increased patient education opportunities
Public App Stores vs. VA App Catalog
Before you download an app, think about how you will be using the app. If you are using this app to access or receive VA or patient information, the app must be downloaded through the VA App
Catalog. Apps available on the VA App Catalog have passed extensive security reviews and have been deemed safe for use with sensitive data. All VA Rules of Behavior (ROB) must be followed when downloading, installing, and utilizing any App from a Public App Store. Remember, you have a responsibility to protect privacy and ensure information security!
Public App Store Privacy and Security Training
To use and download commercial apps through Public App Stores, you must participate in a mandatory training session available through the either VA TMS or MyVeHU Campus.
1. VA TMS Course Link - Mobile Training: Security of Apps on iOS Devices (WBT) VA 3926744
2. VEHU - Visit www.myvehucampus.com and click the ENROLL icon at the bottom of the page.
Once you are enrolled, go to the “On Demand” section of the site, and search for “Protecting
Privacy and Security While Using Apps from the Public App Store” – or search for session code:
#14138. The My VeHU Campus Session is streamed directly to your desktop or mobile device and available 24/7/365.
Rule of Thumb for Public Apps
If the app that you want to download does not receive or access any information related to VA, then you can download it through a Public App Store.
