H.R. 4626: VA AIM Act

117th Congress

To amend title 38, United States Code, to require an independent assessment of health care delivery systems and management processes of the Department of Veterans Affairs be conducted once every 10 years, and for other purposes.

Sponsor: Rep. Jack Bergman — R — MI

Requires the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to contract with one or more private entities to conduct an extensive assessment of its health care system at least once every 10 years. That audit would evaluate the VA health care system in 16 areas including patient demographics, staffing and productivity, and business processes. The bill also requires the private entity to use data that has already been collected during other evaluations when feasible. The private entity would complete the initial assessment by the end of 2025 and submit a report on its findings and recommendations.
