Description

The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) administers the Department of Veterans Affairsäó» (VAäó»s) health care system and strives to provide high-quality, safe care to veterans. Concerns continue about the quality of care VHA delivers, but many physicians and dentists, referred to as providers, receive performance-based pay and awards. In FY 2011, about 80% of VHAäó»s nearly 22,500 providers received approximately $150 million in performance pay, and about 20% received more than $10 million in performance awards. This report examines (1) whether VAäó»s performance pay and award policies ensure appropriate administration of this compensation; and (2) VHAäó»s oversight of medical centersäó» compliance with policy requirements. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
