摘要

Veterans diagnosed with end-stage renal diseasea condition of permanent kidney failurerepresent one of the most resource-intensive patient populations at VA. These veterans are often prescribed dialysis, which is a life-saving and relatively expensive medical procedure that removes excess fluids and toxins from the bloodstream. VA began developing its Dialysis Pilot in 2009 with four goals: (1) improved quality of care, (2) increased veteran access, (3) additional medical research opportunities, and (4) cost savings. Through this pilot, VA will establish four VA-operated outpatient dialysis clinics in communities surrounding select VA medical centers by the end of fiscal year 2012 using start-up funding provided by VA Central Office. Pilot locations are expected to achieve cost savings and to repay their start-up funding. GAO examined VAs planning and early implementation efforts for the Dialysis Pilot, and how VA plans to evaluate the pilot. GAO reviewed relevant VA documents, including those related to pilot location selection and cost estimation, and spoke with VA officials responsible for overseeing the Dialysis Pilot and representatives from all pilot locations. Among other actions, GAO recommends that VA improve its Dialysis Pilot by providing guidance for start-up fund repayment, as well as developing an evaluation plan that includes performance measures for the pilot locations. VA concurred with GAOs recommendations and provided an action plan to address them.
