VA would review veteran opioid overdose deaths to find ways to save lives.
This bill would require the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to conduct a detailed review of opioid overdose deaths among veterans who received VA care. The study would cover deaths over the past five years, looking for patterns and causes. The goal is to help the VA and Congress create better ways to prevent future overdose deaths among veterans.
Today, there isn't a specific, comprehensive, mandated review of opioid overdose deaths among veterans who received VA care, especially one that is publicly reported. After this bill, the VA would be required to conduct such a review covering the past five years, collect specific data points, and then publicly share its findings and recommendations to help prevent future deaths.
