Assess clinical appointment loads where wait times exceed MISSION Act limits
Printed page 647 20. Department of Veterans Affairs
“Assess the daily clinical appointment load for physicians and clinical staff in medical facilities where wait times for care are well outside of the time frames required by the VA MISSION Act.”
What has happened
- Not started
No assessment of daily clinical appointment load at facilities whose wait times sit outside the MISSION Act time frames. VA published nothing on per-clinician or per-facility appointment load in the window; its access work went to scheduling throughput (the External Provider Scheduling roll-out, #1774) and to total appointment volume, neither of which is the facility-level workload study the Quote asks for.
No action found yet. This entry is the starting point, not a finding.
