A shift of the veteran population from the northeast and the midwest to the south and the west without appropriate reallocation of resources has created inequities in access to services. In April 1997, VA launched the veterans equitable resources allocation system as part of a strategy to improve the equity of veterans' access to health care. The system is designed to allocate resources to 22 regional VA health care networks, which are responsible for distributing resources to hospitals and clinics. This report assesses VA's (1) implementation of the veterans equitable resources allocation system, (2) monitoring of changes in health care delivery resulting from the system, and (3) oversight of the network allocation process used to give veterans equitable access to service.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Department of Veterans Affairs' (VA) resource allocation system, focusing on the: (1) extent to which VA resources are distributed equally among VA facilities; and (2) causes of unequal resource allocations among VA health care facilities. GAO found that: (1) the VA resource allocation system enables VA to identify potential inequities in resource allocations and forecast facility workload changes, but VA has made only minimal changes in facilities' funding levels; (2) there is a significant difference between comparable health care facilities' operating costs and patient workloads; (3) VA has not used its resource planning and management system (RPM) to ensure that resources are allocated to facilities within the same priority category; (4) VA excluded over $4 billion of its medical care appropriation from the RPM process during the first 2 years of RPM because it wanted to give VA facilities more time to adjust to the reallocation process and large budget changes; (5) the RPM system does not address veterans' unequal access to outpatient care; and (6) VA plans to reallocate a larger portion of its fiscal year 1996 facility budgets based on the RPM process and implement a decision support system to better compute the costs of specific services provided to each patient.
