Military Times | VA to being sharing veterans’ health information with non-VA doctors
VA is sending letters to veterans’ homes notifying them of the change. Under the 2018 VA Mission Act, the department is working to ensure that VA physicians and non-VA medical providers can access a veteran’s health care information in order to treat them.
“This electronic exchange of information improves patient safety — particularly during emergency situations — and allows for improved care coordination for veterans receiving care in the community,” the release said. |
