Description

Native Americans who have served in the military may be eligible for health care services from both the Veterans Administration (VA) and the Indian Health Service (IHS). To enhance health care access and the quality of care provided to Native American veterans, in 2010, these two agencies renewed and revised a memorandum of understanding (MOU) designed to improve their coordination and resource sharing related to serving these veterans. This report examined how the agencies have implemented the MOU. It discusses: (1) the extent to which the agencies have established mechanisms through which the MOU can be implemented and monitored; and (2) key challenges the agencies face in implementing the MOU and the progress made in overcoming them. Tables. This is a print on demand report.
