VA would improve how it manages veteran medical records and outside doctor training.
The CARING for Our Veterans Health Act of 2025 would make the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) improve how it handles medical records from private doctors who treat veterans. It would also make sure these outside doctors get clear information and complete required trainings. This could mean better, more coordinated care for veterans.
Today, there can be inconsistencies in how VA medical centers get medical records from outside doctors and how those doctors are informed about required trainings. If this bill becomes law, the VA would be required to create clear guidelines for getting medical records, set goals for documentation and training completion, and ensure outside doctors receive clear information about required trainings. This aims to improve the coordination and quality of care veterans receive from community care providers.
