Bill 119 s 607, also known as the "Veterans Integrated Appointment Scheduling Act," aims to address the issues surrounding scheduling appointments for health care services within the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The bill requires the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to establish an integrated project team that will work to improve the process for scheduling appointments for veterans seeking health care services.

The integrated project team will be responsible for developing and implementing strategies to streamline the appointment scheduling process, reduce wait times, and ensure that veterans receive timely access to the care they need. The team will also be tasked with identifying and addressing any barriers or challenges that may be hindering the scheduling process.

In addition to improving appointment scheduling, the bill also aims to enhance communication and coordination between VA facilities and providers to ensure that veterans receive high-quality care in a timely manner. The bill emphasizes the importance of prioritizing the needs of veterans and ensuring that they receive the care and support they deserve. Overall, Bill 119 s 607 seeks to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the appointment scheduling process within the VA, ultimately leading to better outcomes for veterans seeking health care services.
