Area of Science:

  • Health Services Research
  • Healthcare Management
  • Public Health Policy

Background:

  • The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) aims to enhance community care through Community Care Network (CCN) contracts.
  • Network adequacy standards are crucial for ensuring Veterans have timely access to quality healthcare services in the community.
  • Developing and implementing effective network adequacy standards presents unique challenges within the VA system.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To inform the VA's development and implementation of network adequacy standards for community care.
  • To identify and prioritize key measures for CCN network adequacy.
  • To explore opportunities and challenges associated with implementing these standards.

Main Methods:

  • A modified Delphi panel process involving nine experts in network adequacy standards.
  • Experts rated 11 potential network adequacy measures based on commercial and government market standards.
  • An expert panel meeting facilitated discussion and thematic analysis of implementation opportunities and challenges.

Main Results:

  • The five highest-ranked standards included network directories for Veterans, regular network adequacy data reporting to the VA, maximum wait time/distance standards, provider-to-population ratios, and qualitative network assessments.
  • Discussions highlighted opportunities for improving network adequacy, such as comprehensive provider directories.
  • Challenges related to current Congressional restraints on VA reimbursement to community providers were identified.

Conclusions:

  • Priorities for CCN network adequacy include developing comprehensive provider directories and establishing clear wait time/distance standards.
  • The feasibility of implementing these standards is contingent upon addressing existing legislative and reimbursement constraints.
  • Further evaluation is needed to determine the VA's capacity to implement robust network adequacy standards under current conditions.
