In this episode of Veteran Oversight Now, Dr. Julie Kroviak, deputy assistant inspector general for healthcare inspections, discusses her journey from medical student to VA doctor to leading teams conducting oversight of VHA. She introduces the new vet center inspection program, detailing how the VA OIG will inspect roughly 300 vet centers over the next few years. This month’s episode concludes with the VA OIG’s highlights for January 2022.
Dr. Kroviak on areas of focus for vet center inspections:
“Leadership will be a story that we tell in every single report we write from now on. We’re looking at leadership in local and regional levels for each vet center that we visit. Importantly, we’re looking for their internal quality reviews. You know care is being provided, and we need to know that there is appropriate oversight and intervention and when issues are found that plans are in place to remediate.”
The VA OIG has published inspection reports on the following vet centers since the program was launched:
Pacific District 5 Zone 1 and four selected vet centers in Bellingham, WA; Tacoma, WA; Bend, OR; and Wasilla, AK, 9/30/21
Continental District 4 Zone 2 and four selected vet centers in Alexandria, LA; Houston Southwest, TX; Laredo, TX; and Mesquite, TX, 9/30/21
