Book Description
The Vet. Health Admin. (VHA) operates one of the largest integrated health care systems in the country. Better mgmt. of VHA's large inventory of aged capital assets could result in savings that could be used to enhance health care services for vets. In response, VHA initiated a process known as Capital Asset Realignment for Enhanced Services (CARES). Through CARES, VHA sought to determine the future resources needed to provide health care to our nation's vets. This testimony describes: (1) how CARES contributes to VHA's capital planning process; (2) the extent to which VHA has implemented CARES decisions; and (3) the legal authorities that VHA has to manage its real property and the extent to which VHA has used these authorities.
