VA Loma Linda Clinics: Staffing Shortages, Cancellations

Recent audit uncovers severe issues at VA Loma Linda Healthcare System, including staffing shortages and poor oversight, leading to over two-thirds of patient appointments canceled over two years. Five clinics, run by a private contractor, saw sixty-four thousand cancellations, with forty-four thousand due to staff shortages. VA leaders failed to monitor performance or enforce rules during contract startup, causing real delays in care and strain on the system. Audit recommends better staffing monitoring, accurate data tracking, and using temps to fill gaps. VA Loma Linda plans fixes to improve care for veterans. Checkout Solipillow.com
