Healthcare Inspection – Alleged Quality of Care Issues, Fargo VA Medical Center, Fargo, North Dakota

In response to an inquiry from Senator Kent Conrad, the OIG conducted a review of allegations at the Fargo VA Medical Center, Fargo, North Dakota. We administratively closed this review on May 12, 2006, because Medical Center leadership had initiated appropriate actions prior to our review. On May 26, 2006, we provided a summary of our review findings to Senator Conrad. 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.
