Description

The Veterans Admin. (VA) and the Dept. of Defense (DOD) operate two of the nationäó»s largest health care systems at estimated annual costs of about $53 billion and $49 billion, respectively, for FY 2013, and have established collaboration sites to deliver care jointly with the aim of improving access, quality, and cost-effectiveness of care. In addition, collaborations could help reduce duplication and overlap between the two health care systems, potentially saving tax dollars and helping VA and DOD provide more efficient and effective services. This report examines the extent to which (1) VA and DOD assess effectiveness and efficiencies at collaboration sites; (2) barriers exist that affect collaboration; and (3) VA and DOD identify opportunities for collaboration. Figures and tables. This is a print on demand report.
