Potential Costs of Veterans' Health Care by Heidi Golding Pdf

This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. The VA is operating its medical care system and associated research program with a budget of $48 billion for 2010, a rise of 8% in nominal terms from 2009. In nominal terms, that budget grew at an average rate exceeding 9% annually between 2004 and 2009. VA¿s health care budget will face continued pressure over the next few years. This report examines prospective demands on VA¿s health care system and the potential budgetary implications of meeting veterans¿ health care needs over the 2011¿2020 period. The report projects the potential costs to treat all veterans enrolled in VA¿s health care system and also, separately, projects the potential costs to treat veterans returning from military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan and other areas.

Veteran's Health Care Budget by Government Accountability Office Pdf

VA provides health care services to various veteran populations— including an aging veteran population and a growing number of younger veterans returning from the military operations in Afghanistan and Iraq. VA operates approximately 150 hospitals, 130 nursing homes, 800 outpatient clinics, as well as other facilities to provide care to veterans. In general, veterans must enroll in VA health care to receive VA's medical benefits package—a set of services that includes a full range of hospital and outpatient services, prescription drugs, and long-term care services provided in veterans' own homes and in other locations in the community.

Quality Initiatives Undertaken by the Veterans Health Administration by Anonim Pdf

The VA is now treating more than 5 million vets each year. The quality of care in the veterans¿ health system has been bolstered by concerted efforts to track performance measures, expand the use of health IT, manage chronic diseases, coordinate care by different providers, and enhance the provision of evidence-based medical practices. This report is an assessment of quality improvement, cost and utilization of services, and health IT in the VHA. It examines VHA¿s experience with quality improvement and health IT. The assessment also aims to improve understanding of how VHA¿s system serves its patients. That info. may prove useful as decisionmakers consider how veterans¿ health care might be affected by proposals for health care reform.

Health Care Spending and Efficiency in the United States Department of Veterans Affairs by David I. Auerbach,William B. Weeks,Ian Brantley,Rand Corporation Pdf

In its 2013 budget request, the Obama administration sought $140 billion for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), 54 percent of which would provide mandatory benefits, such as direct compensation and pensions, and 40 percent of which is discretionary spending, earmarked for medical benefits under the Veterans Health Administration (VHA). Unlike Medicare, which provides financing for care when its beneficiaries use providers throughout the U.S. health care system, the VHA is a government-run, parallel system that is primarily intended for care provision of veterans. The VHA hires its own doctors and has its own hospital network infrastructure. Although the VHA provides quality services to veterans, it does not preclude veterans from utilizing other forms of care outside of the VHA network, in fact, the majority of veterans' care is received external to the VHA because of location and other system limitations. Veterans typically use other private and public health insurance coverage (for example, Medicare, Medicaid) for external care, and many use both systems in a given year (dual use). Overlapping system use creates the potential for duplicative, uncoordinated, and inefficient use. The authors find some suggestive evidence of such inefficient use, particularly in the area of inpatient care. Coordination management and quality of care received by veterans across both VHA and private sector systems can be optimized (for example, in the area of mental illness, which benefits from an integrated approach across multiple providers and sectors), capitalizing on the best that each system has to offer, without increasing costs.

Veterans' Health Care Budget by Randall B. Williamson Pdf

The Veterans Health Care Budget Reform and Transparency Act of 2009 requires a report on the President's annual budget request to Congress for VA health care services. Previous audits found that the VA's non-recurring maintenance (NRM) spending exceeded its estimates in recent years and that some of VA's estimates of savings from operational improvements lacked analytical support or were flawed. This report examines: (1) key changes to the FY 2013 budget request compared to the 2013 advance appropriations request; and (2) whether the issues identified regarding NRM and operational improvements continue in the estimates for the most recent request. Charts and tables. This is a print on demand report.

VA Health Care by Randall B. Williamson Pdf

In FY 2007, the Dept. of Veterans Affairs (VA) spent $4.1 billion on long-term care for veterans. VA provides -- through VA or other providers -- institutional care in nursing homes and non-institutional care in veterans' homes or the community. In 2007, the VA published a long-term care strategic plan through FY 2013. These estimates are based on workload projections -- the amount of care to be provided -- and cost assumptions. This report examined: (1) VA's reporting of planned workload in its 2007 long-term care strategic plan; and (2) VA's long-term care spending estimates, including its cost assumptions and workload projections, in VA's FY 2009 budget justification. Includes recommendations. Charts and tables.

Veterans Health Care Budget by Government Accountability Office Pdf

" The Veterans Health Care Budget Reform and Transparency Act of 2009 requires GAO to report on the President's annual budget request to Congress for VA health care services. GAO's previous work found that VA's NRM spending exceeded its estimates in recent years and that some of VA's estimates of savings from operational improvements lacked analytical support or were flawed. Building on GAO's past work and the President's most recent request for VA health care, this report examines (1) key changes to the fiscal year 2013 budget request compared to the 2013 advance appropriations request, and certain aspects of the fiscal year 2014 advance appropriation request and supporting estimates; and (2) whether the issues GAO identified regarding NRM and operational improvements continue in the estimates for the most recent request. GAO reviewed the President's budget request, VA's budget justification, and VA data. GAO interviewed VA officials and staff from the Office of Management and Budget. "
