About the Office of Healthcare Inspections

Dr. Julie Kroviak, Principal Deputy Assistant Inspector General, in the role of Acting Assistant Inspector General for Healthcare Inspections

The Office of Healthcare Inspections is committed to ensuring veterans have access to timely and high-quality health care that meets their unique needs and experiences. Leveraging broad clinical expertise, staff conduct for-cause inspections to assess allegations pertaining to poor VA medical care that are prompted by complaints to the OIG hotline, congressional requests, and other leads. The office also performs proactive cyclical evaluations of vet centers, inpatient mental health units, individual medical centers, healthcare systems, regional networks, and community providers, as well as performance reviews of nationwide clinical programs. Collectively, these efforts advance comprehensive oversight of the nation’s largest integrated public healthcare system and help VA improve patient outcomes, mitigate risk, and deliver caring service. Staff also provide clinical consultations to OIG criminal investigators and audit staff and other federal entities as needed.
