Secretary Shinseki was charged with 16 initiatives to bring the VA into the 21st Century. One of the 16 initiatives was to enhance veterans\u2019 experience with and access to healthcare.<\/p>\n<p>In 2013, CNN was among the news outlets reporting that veterans were experiencing delayed care at the Williams Jennings Bryan Dorn Veterans Medical Center in Columbia SC. In fact, the delays were so serious that six veterans died while waiting for months to receive necessary diagnostic procedures. The VA launched an investigation into the GO clinic at Dorn and found several issues, including low staff census; leadership turnover that resulted in a lack of understanding of roles, responsibilities and system processes; and program coordination. Allegations of long wait times also emerged about VA facilities in Arizona, Pittsburgh, and Phoenix VA Health Care Systems. Delays, however, were not the only issues in the VA facilities. In the Phoenix VA Health Care System, for instance, there were claims of manipulated patient wait times, bad scheduling practices, and patient deaths.<\/p>\n<p>In 2014, the Office of Inspector General (OIG) launched an investigation into these allegations.<\/p>\n<p>Two questions were addressed in this review:<\/p>\n<p>1. Did the facility\u2019s electronic wait list (EWL purposely omit the names of veterans waiting for<\/p>\n<p>care and, if so, at whose direction?<\/p>\n<p>2. Were the deaths of any of these veterans related to delays in care?<\/p>\n<p>The investigators confirmed \u201cinappropriate scheduling issues throughout the VA and health care system.<\/p>\n<p>The OIG report concluded as follows (VA 2014, iii).<\/p>\n<p>In Phoenix VA, specifically, investigators found that 1,400 veterans did not have a primary care appointment<\/p>\n<p>but were listed on the EWL and that 1,700 veterans were waiting for a primary care appoint but were not listed<\/p>\n<p>on the EWL. Because veterans were not on the EWLS, the Phoenix leadership significantly understated the time new patients waited for the appointments. The investigators found that the average wait time was 115 days for the first primary care appointment and about 84 percent of these patients waited more than 14 days.<\/p>\n<p>OIG reviewed have identified multiple types of scheduling practices that are not in compliance with VHA policy. Since the multiple lists we found were something other than the official EWL, the additional lists may be the basis for allegations of creating \u201csecret\u201d wait lists.<\/p>\n<p>Secretary Shinseki called the find \u201creprehensible\u201d and resigned from his post on May 30, 2014.<\/p>\n<p>Harrison, J.
