VA patient care reviews would get new rules to prevent conflicts of interest.
This bill would make sure that reviews of patient care at VA facilities are fair. It would require people doing these reviews to step aside if they were directly involved in the care or cannot be fair. It would also make sure reviews of committee members are finalized by a different VA facility.
Today, there are no explicit rules requiring VA staff doing patient care reviews to step aside if they have a conflict of interest or can't be fair. Also, reviews of committee members' care don't have to be finalized by an outside VA facility. If this bill becomes law, individuals reviewing VA patient care would have to withdraw if they have a direct conflict or can't be impartial. Also, initial reviews for care provided by a committee member would get a final assessment from a neutral committee at a different VA facility.
