Establishes an integrated project team to enhance scheduling for VA health care appointments.
The bill mandates the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to create an integrated project team to improve scheduling for health care appointments. The team's objectives include developing a scheduling system for both personnel and patients, a self-service platform for patients, and coordinating with the Electronic Health Record Modernization Program. The team must complete these objectives within one year. The bill also requires reports to Congress on progress, costs, and challenges. It ensures veterans can still schedule appointments directly if they prefer.
