2009 VHA Facility Quality And Safety Report - Population Quality Of Care

The 2008 Hospital Report Card was mandated by the FY08 Appropriations Act, and focused on Congressionally-mandated metrics applicable to general patient populations. The 2009 VHA Facility Quality and Safety Report report, not required by Congress, shifts to Veteran-centered metrics, and includes information related to infrastructure, care provided in outpatient and hospital settings, quality of care within given patient populations, accreditation status, patient satisfaction and patient outcomes for FY2008. The data in this report have been compiled from multiple sources throughout VHA. This dataset includes composite scores reflecting quality of care for outpatients (NEXUS) and inpatients (ORYX). Quality of outpatient care is further stratified by comparison of outpatient care by gender, age, and mental health diagnosis.
