Call this meeting to order. Welcome, everybody. Hope yall had a great thanksgiving and hope everybody has a wonderful Holiday Season coming up. This is a very important hearing for the United States senate. On november 4th, if my memory is correct, we had a meeting at the va. Sloane gibson, dr. Schulkin and some others were in the room. In terms of Va Health Service delivery to our veterans, veterans choice, consolidating programs, reimbursement rates so there wasnt any preference over another. A reality in our lifetime and in their lifetime. With that will come a number of decisions. This will not be the first time i heard most of this information. We had that meeting before. It will be the first time a lot of people have heard it. Of people have heard it. Of people have heard it. Of people have heard it. This is a critical there are a critical number of decisions we will have to make to make my va work. The new veterans choice work and make sure that va does what it does best well bu
At the local cbac, its not going to be any good to them at all. I have two questions for you. Va needs to provide all nonva with access to the patient record system to ensure that Community Health care providers can review the medical history for couldnt knew its in care purposes. You referred to the lack of coordination between the nonva providers and the va in getting the documentation so the health care file is complete, is that right . Correct. And i agree with you. No systems going to work if you dont have the medical history of the patient and services hes received in one place accessible. The va has been working on an Electronic Health record for years now with very little success. Their plan calls for taking the snapshot, the vlj process, i believe, which is a virtual snapshot of a veterans record and incorporating that initially as part of the health record, and then moving on with a feature design of a more coordinated health record. I think that for any process to work, your
That will make choice better for every single veteran tomorrow, but if they dont experience it at the local cbac, its not going to be any good to them at all. I have two questions for you.

What youve probably thought about in terms of the enabling legislation for this particular program. If you dont do that, then youre building the transformed system on outdated policies that may or hey not have ever been appropriate. They just happened to get through congress and you have to live up to them because theyve been mandated to you. Im not going to get into a lot of questions except that the reason i continue to have this flavor to my discussion is i want to help you establish a plan that transcends your tenure and your positions. So do we. That continues when we get another president. That needs to be articulated. And we need people in the va to put the mirror back on us, saying youre asking me to do this thats shifting away from the other thing you asked me to do. If we do at that, and you put the mirror in, its our problem. If we make a request, and you dont reflect back on us, its your problem. And i want to make this our problem so that we can help facilitate the transfo
Good day, it is thursday, october 22nd, 2015. Mr. Magee is the homecoming king. You had fun meeting those folks . This is why im in this business. Great feeling. Yes, really good feeling. Absolutely. Lets go to Scott Williams in for sue serio the next couple of days, boy, nice forecast to take over. Yes, really is. Good morning, lauren and chris. Looking at another ten today. It will be above average with the temperatures, so as we take a look at the scale here, you can see, a perfect ten, temperatures right now, not that bad in the city, looking at numbers right around 53 degrees, humidity at 74 , and the winds, still, out of the southsouthwest at about 6 miles per hour.

There is a little fall boundery well off to the wells. That will will move in late this evening, dropping the temperatures by tomorrow. But, right now, look at the pocono
