AI Summary
This bill seeks to improve the productivity of the management of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) healthcare system. The key provisions include:
1. Requiring the VA Secretary to track "relative value units" (a measure of healthcare provider workload) for all VA providers.
2. Mandating that VA providers who fall below a minimum coding accuracy threshold attend training on clinical procedure coding.
3. Directing the VA Secretary to establish standardized performance standards based on nationally recognized relative value unit production standards, develop remediation plans for low productivity, and incorporate factors that impede productivity into the standards.
4. Requiring the VA Secretary to submit a report to Congress on the implementation of these productivity measures and to develop comprehensive staffing models for all VA medical centers.
The overall goal is to improve the efficiency and productivity of VA healthcare delivery through data-driven management and accountability measures.
