dc.description.abstractSince 2014, Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has dramatically shifted the ways in which Veterans can receive care. While a substantial majority of Veteran care is provided at one of the 170 VA Medical Centers and 1074 outpatient sites of care nationwide, the Veterans Access, Choice and Accountability Act (Choice Act) (2014) and the VA MISSION Act (MISSION Act) (2018) provided Veterans increased opportunities to receive care from community providers by partnering with federal and private providers, clinics, and hospitals. Both MISSION and Choice represented the attempts of Congress to address reports of long wait times for certain VA services, especially in parts of the country where growth of the Veteran population outpaced VA capacity and in rural areas where Veterans had to drive long distances to see a subspecialist.
