Abstract: Section 122 of the MISSION Act of 2018 requires VA to develop and administer a training program for VA employees and contractors on how to administer non-Department health care programs, reimbursement for non-Department emergency room care, and the management of prescriptions for opioids as established under section 131. It also requires VA to evaluate and report on the program annually. The purpose of the survey is to evaluate and report the effectiveness of a training program for contractors on how to administer non-department health care programs and the management of prescriptions for opioids. As part of this effort, the VHA Office of Community Care (OCC) would like to develop a survey to assess its eLearning training modules with Patient-Centered Community Care (PC3) and Community Care Network contractors. The results of this survey will allow OCC to refine and improve the various training modalities and associated materials for the most effective training program and provide an annual report to Congress.
