VA Health Care: Improved Data, Planning, and Communication Needed for Infrastructure Modernization and Realignment

The Government Accountability Office (GAO) analyzed VA’s recommendations for modernizing and realigning its infrastructure and reviewed supporting data and documentation. These data included actual and projected data on demographics and demand for health care.

GAO also reviewed documentation describing VA’s process to assess its capacity in 96 designated geographic areas, or markets, to provide quality, accessible, and timely health care.
