This process will allow individuals to report any potential conflicts of interest and ensure that appropriate action is taken to address these issues.
Overall, the Veterans Affairs Peer Review Neutrality Act of 2023 aims to uphold the integrity of the peer review process within the VA and ensure that decisions regarding the quality of care provided to veterans are made in a fair and unbiased manner.
