The VA Office of Inspector General (OIG) conducted a focused evaluation of the quality of care provided at the Lebanon VA Medical Center. This included reviews of various aspects of key clinical and administrative processes that affect patient care outcomes—Quality, Safety, and Value; Environment of Care; Medication Management; Coordination of Care; Diagnostic Care; Community Nursing Home Oversight; Management of Disruptive/Violent Behavior; Mental Health Residential Rehabilitation Treatment Program; and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Care. OIG provided crime awareness briefings to 149 employees. OIG identified certain system weaknesses in credentialing and privileging, utilization management, peer review, patient safety, information technology network security, anticoagulation processes, Community Nursing Home Oversight Committee representation and clinical visits, management of disruptive and violent behavior training, Mental Health Residential Rehabilitation Treatment Program environmental safety, and care provided for patients with positive post-traumatic stress disorder screens. As a result of the findings, OIG could not gain reasonable assurance that: (1) The quality, safety, and value program has effective processes; (2) The facility monitors access to the information technology network; (3) The facility minimizes the risk of anticoagulation dosing errors; (4) Clinicians obtain all required laboratory tests prior to initiating anticoagulant medications; (5) The facility provides multidisciplinary oversight of the community nursing home program; (6) The facility trains employees to manage disruptive/violent behavior; (7) The facility maintains a safe Mental Health Residential Rehabilitation Treatment Program environment; (8) Clinicians provide suicide risk assessments and offer further diagnostic evaluations to patients with positive post-traumatic stress disorder screening results. OIG made recommendations for improvement in seven review areas: (1) Quality, Safety, and Value; (2) Environment of Care; (3) Medication Management: Anticoagulation Therapy; (4) Community Nursing Home Oversight; (5) Management of Disruptive/Violent Behavior; (6) Mental Health Residential Rehabilitation Treatment Program; and (7) Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Care.
