Summary

Summary
The OIG conducted a review of an allegation at the Tennessee Valley Healthcare System, Nashville, Tennessee. We administratively closed this review on January 31, 2014, because we could not substantiate the allegation. On January 22, 2014, we shared several observations related to the facility Emergency Department with the Healthcare System and Veterans Integrated Service Network leadership. In addition to posting this review on our website, OIG has distributed copies of this review to VA and Veterans Health Administration officials, congressional committees, national veterans service organizations, the Government Accountability Office, and the Office of Management and Budget.
