What is Quality Care?
“Quality care” has many definitions, but at VA it means:
• The right type of care for your health condition
• Care that results in the best possible outcome for you
• Care delivered with attention to your concerns, needs, and life goals
• Care that keeps you safe from hazards and harm
VA strives to provide the highest quality care possible every day. This site will tell you how we’re doing! For more details about what this site has to offer, please visit our About Quality of Care page.
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) remains committed to continually improving our health care quality and access reporting. VA is currently reviewing website usability and consolidating data for Veterans onto Access to Care. This consolidation is based on continued input from Veterans, evolution of VA's data reporting tools, and COVID-19-related impacts. As of Jan. 20, 2021, no new data will be updated on the Quality of Care site.
Data sets on the following pages have been relocated to other VA websites:
- How Does Your Medical Center Perform?
- How Does Your CLC Perform?
- How Does Your VA Health Experience Rate?
Data are currently available at these websites:
- Access to Care — View access times at individual facilities and compare VA quality of care with community providers to help Veterans and caregivers make health care decisions
- VA's Open Data — Comprehensive data archives for SAIL, Why Not the Best VA, and hospital performance to provide detailed data for Veterans, caregivers, media inquiries, researchers, and freely available to the public.
