Short Narrative/Description:

30 days to create better and more efficient health care for Veterans nation-wide.
• Background: From October 6 until November 3, 2014, TriWest Healthcare Alliance was tasked by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs to create an organization capable of providing healthcare services to Veterans who were eligible for the newly passed Veterans Access, Choice, and Accountability Act (VACAA). Federal law mandated the program be available to all eligible Veterans by election day, 2014. As of October 5, 2014, there was not even a contract with TriWest; merely an off-the-record invitation to create the program.
• Statement of Problem: Veterans were dying due to not receiving timely care from the VA. As of 6 Oct 2014, there was no process (or plan) for providing healthcare to Veterans outside of the VA who had been on VA waiting lists for more than 30 days or who lived more than 40 miles from a VA medical center. However, Federal law required such a program to exist prior to 4 Nov 2014.
