This book was released on 1985 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Veterans Administration (VA) quality assurance systems and procedures for health care to determine: (1) the extent to which VA medical centers had implemented quality assurance programs; and (2) the roles of and processes used by other VA organizations in ensuring quality care. GAO found that the 13 medical centers it reviewed had quality assurance plans and programs to: (1) establish policies regarding the provision of quality health care; (2) hire quality health care providers; and (3) identify and resolve health care problems. However, the medical centers did not systematically: (1) determine whether health care and services provided were appropriate to patient needs; (2) determine patterns and trends of health care provided; and (3) resolve systemic quality of care problems. Officials did not view such noncompliance as a problem, and GAO could not determine whether these failures resulted in poor quality care. Until March 3, 1985, the VA Medical Inspector conducted quality assurance programs and these programs will continue in the future under the Office of Quality Assurance. GAO also found that: (1) the reviews have not evaluated the effectiveness of the centers' quality assurance programs; (2) VA has not achieved it goal to conduct 60 reviews annually; (3) some reviewers believe that the timeframe for conducting reviews is too short; and (4) the Medical Inspector has conducted limited trend and data analyses and has not developed standards for use in the quality assurance program. The VA Inspector General oversees the Medical Inspector's investigation activities and conducts routine audits which address certain aspects of the quality assurance process such as assessing malpractice claims against VA.

This book was released on 2018-03-29 with total page 467 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Approximately 4 million U.S. service members took part in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Shortly after troops started returning from their deployments, some active-duty service members and veterans began experiencing mental health problems. Given the stressors associated with war, it is not surprising that some service members developed such mental health conditions as posttraumatic stress disorder, depression, and substance use disorder. Subsequent epidemiologic studies conducted on military and veteran populations that served in the operations in Afghanistan and Iraq provided scientific evidence that those who fought were in fact being diagnosed with mental illnesses and experiencing mental healthâ€"related outcomesâ€"in particular, suicideâ€"at a higher rate than the general population. This report provides a comprehensive assessment of the quality, capacity, and access to mental health care services for veterans who served in the Armed Forces in Operation Enduring Freedom/Operation Iraqi Freedom/Operation New Dawn. It includes an analysis of not only the quality and capacity of mental health care services within the Department of Veterans Affairs, but also barriers faced by patients in utilizing those services.
