Radiation error at VA hospital blamed on offline computer

2009-07-20T13:08:00.005-05:00

Just a quick note pointing to a Philly.com story perpetuating VA hospital horror stories. This one concerns a botched monitoring of a prostrate cancer procedure due to computer workstation network cable being unplugged from the hospital's network. This resulted in failed treatment because calculations concerning post-implant radiation release amounts could not be made.

Veterans' service groups see cuts

2009-05-29T09:57:00.006-05:00

The Assoicated Press reported yesterday that several states are cutting back funding to various veteran groups that assist vets (with the VA).

The following states have either already seen cuts, or cuts are in the works:

Michigan -- $1 million cut to 11 groups that help vets navagate through bureaucracy and paperwork to obtain pension and disability benefits from the VA.
South Carolina -- The next budget plans to cut aid to Disabled American Veterans, the VFW and the American Legion.
Ohio -- After cuts, 13 veterans' groups received 10 percent less than promised.

These veterans' groups, also called veterans' service organizations (VSOs), provide vets and widows of veterans with help filing for benefits. And many rely on these VSOs, particularly in states giving money to them instead of hiring their own employees to assist in filing claims.

As President Obama moves to withdraw troops from Iraq in 2010, many will return with physical and psychological problems. Older vets are also being laid off and losing their health insurance forcing them to seek help from the VA. These troops and veterans may need assistance with VA claims.

Obama Promises Vets New Record System

2009-04-09T12:24:00.007-05:00

President Obama promised a more efficient and effective record system for wounded veterans today, according to the AP.

To help deal with over 33,000 injured military personal from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, an electronic system would be implemented to follow a single record for a service member from the military then later into the VA's medical system.

A current six month backlog in disability claims at the VA irks many veterans because of the bureaucratic red tape and long wait associated with transitioning into the VA system.

"It's time to change all that, it's time to give our veterans a 21st century VA," said Obama after hearing from hundreds of vets frustrated with unprovided, needed treatment.

He also said his new VA and military budget sets aside more money for diagnosing psychological disabilities and brain injuries.

The White House said that VA spending will rise by $25 billion within the next five years.

Dems and Vet groups oppose Obama's private insurance plan

2009-03-18T15:02:00.007-05:00

Democrats and Veterans' groups both appear opposed to Obama's proposal to require vets to use private insurance to pay for combat and service related injuries.

I'm over simplifying it here, but Obama says the plan would provide $540 million for the Department of Veterans Affairs while opponents claim that the VA has a "moral obligation" to pay for these injuries.

John of OPFOR about the president's proposal:

Confusing. I'm not a doctor or a politician, but this just smacks of political inexperience. Politics favor perception over reality. Think the perception here is going to favor the President?

CNN tells the story of Dave Mahler and his website USAtogether.org, a service that helps injured U.S. troops by showcasing individual soldiers' stories and needs. Anyone wanting to help can browse the site and decide whom they want to support and how much.

The CNN article explains a little more about how the site works:

Visitors to USAtogether.org can search for requests by ZIP code, branch of service or type of need. Requests can be filled quickly, so the organization is looking for more service members and their families to list their needs, Mahler said.

Shinseki wants more VA claims processors, all-electronic claims system

2009-02-04T15:00:00.008-06:00

The Associated Press reports today on the new head of the VA, Eric K. Shinseki, and his intentions. Among them:

Reducing the six month delays in paying out disability claims.
Quickly implementing an all-electronic claims system to expedite the process, phasing out paper processing, possibly by 2012.
Hiring 1,100 more VA staff members this year to deal with case backlog.
Launching a "topdown" review of the Department of Veteran Affairs.
Submitting a "credible and adequate 2010 budget request" that promises cost-effectiveness while concurrently completely sensitive to vets in need.

That's a lot to deliver.

Lets hope Ralph Waldo Emerson was wrong, (in this case of Shinseki's promises), in saying, "All promise outruns performance."
