Abstract: The mission of the Veterans
Health Administration (VHA) is to
provide high quality medical and dental
care to eligible veterans. Executive

customers to determine the kind and

The overall purpose of the Dental

systematically obtain information from
patients, which can be used to identify
problems or complaints that need
attention and to improve the quality of
dental health care services. Information
obtained from this dental survey will be
made readily available to VA Central
Office (VACO), Veterans Integrated
Service Network (VISN), VHA field
staff, and stakeholders as part of the
Network Performance Report and via
the VA Intranet. This data will be used
to demonstrate that VA is providing
timely, high quality health care services
to patients.
An agency may not conduct or

unless it displays a currently valid OMB
