Healthcare Inspection: Issues at a VA Mid South Healthcare Network Dental Clinic.

摘要

The VA Office of Inspector General (OIG) Office of Healthcare Inspections conducted an inspection to assess the merit of allegations regarding dental care provided at a Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN) 9 dental clinic. OIG conducted an Employee Assessment Review survey, a short confidential survey that invites all system employees to share general observations about the quality of care and safety provided within the system. The Employee Assessment Review survey results included 15 allegations regarding dental patient care provided at a VISN 9 dental clinic. We divided the allegations into four categories: dental vacuum system; dentists practice issues; eligibility, scheduling, and productivity; and work environment and leadership.
