AAEM Signs on to AMA Letter: VA Supremacy Project

AAEM signs on to a joint letter urging the Department of Veterans Affairs to allow additional time to discuss the VA Supremacy Project with stakeholders. 

"Many of our organizations have met with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to discuss the
VA Supremacy Project and, while commitments to address some concerns have been given, our
organizations remain concerned that the VA is moving forward too quickly and with too little
stakeholder input. The National Standards of Practice (NSP) will change how care is delivered at
the VA potentially adversely impacting the quality care for veterans, and given the VA’s size,
these changes could be adopted by healthcare systems in the community setting. Given the
potential impact, we urge the VA to engage stakeholders earlier and to allow more time to
consider comments."
