The main purpose of the Improving Veteran Access to Care Act is to enhance the process for scheduling health care appointments within the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The goal is to make it easier for veterans to access the health care services they need, while also improving the experience for VA staff involved in scheduling these appointments. Key provisions of the Act require the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to create a detailed plan within one year of the law's enactment. This plan must outline specific actions and resources needed to improve appointment scheduling.
