Veterans would get easier ways to schedule VA healthcare appointments.
This bill would make it simpler for veterans to book their healthcare appointments with the VA. It requires the VA to create new online and phone scheduling tools, while still keeping traditional options available. This aims to improve how veterans access their care and how VA employees manage scheduling.
Today, the process for scheduling healthcare appointments at the Department of Veterans Affairs is implied to need improvement for both patients and employees. After this bill, the VA would be required to develop and implement a comprehensive plan to improve its scheduling. This plan would include new technology, self-service online options, and telephonic assistance, while ensuring non-online scheduling options remain available.
