VA Medical Center Facility Transparency Act
HR 1089, the VA Medical Center Facility Transparency Act, requires each VA medical center director to submit annual and quarterly fact sheets to the VA Secretary, Congress, and the public. The annual reports must include statistics on veterans treated, appointments, common conditions, veteran satisfaction, facility comparisons, improvements made, specialized services (like mental health or women's care), and ongoing deficiencies. Quarterly reports must detail average wait times for veterans seeking care. These fact sheets must be posted publicly both at facilities and online, using a standardized format, to help veterans and Congress understand facility performance and access.
