Download or read book VA Needs a Single System to Measure Hospital Productivity written by United States. General Accounting Office and published by . This book was released on 1981 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GAO was requested to compare the productivity of Veterans Administration (VA) hospitals with that of private and public sector hospitals, outlining the reasons for any differences found. Particular interest was expressed in the measurement systems used to make the comparison. GAO was unable to perform more than a limited comparison of VA hospital productivity with that of non-VA hospitals or with other VA hospitals because of inadequate productivity measurement data. VA has a few partly developed productivity measures but they cannot easily be used to compare with non-VA hospitals because of the differences in the methods of measuring resources used and services provided. A similar lack of uniformity hampers comparisons between VA hospitals. Although efforts are underway to establish several management information systems which could provide productivity measures, these are not yet completed and, if installed as currently planned, will overlap each other. Measurement of productivity provides managers with information for controlling and budgeting functions, maintaining accountability, linking individual and organizational performance with aspects of personnel management, and improving productivity. One way these measures can be used to improve productivity is by comparing productivity levels of similar operations to determine the method of conducting the operations. GAO concluded that VA managers have little information to support their own efforts either to improve productivity or control resources through the budget process.

Download or read book Evaluation of the Department of Veterans Affairs Mental Health Services written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. 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.
