AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill directs the Department of Veterans Affairs' Office of Integrated Veteran Care to take several steps related to veterans' health care from outside (community care) providers. The office would write guidance for VA medical centers on getting final medical records after a veteran sees a community provider through a VA referral. It would set goals and performance measures for collecting medical records and for community providers completing core trainings, and make sure providers get clear information on which trainings are required or recommended. The VA's Under Secretary for Health would report to the House and Senate Veterans' Affairs Committees every 120 days until these steps are fully carried out.
