- Access and providers: The pilot aims to improve access, quality, and health outcomes while lowering per-capita costs by eliminating gaps and duplicate services and by enabling timely sharing of medical records among VA facilities, VA community care providers, and Medicare providers.

The Secretary may contract with private sector health programs to design and manage the pilot and must report tracked metrics and results regularly to the House and Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committees.
