DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS
Special Medical Advisory Group; Notice of Meeting
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) gives notice under the
Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. App. 2, that the Special
Medical Advisory Group will meet on November 24, 2015, in the Freedom
Auditorium (on the fourth floor) at the Veterans Affairs Medical
Center, 50 Irving Street NW., Washington DC 20422 from 9:00 a.m. to
3:30 p.m. ET. The meeting is open to the public.
The purpose of the Group is to advise the Secretary of Veterans
Affairs and the Under Secretary for Health on the care and treatment of
Veterans, and other matters pertinent to the Department's Veterans
Health Administration (VHA).
On November 24, 2015, from 7:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. the Group will
convene a closed door session in order to protect patient privacy as
the Group tours the Washington, DC VA Medical Center 5 U.S.C.
552b(b)(6). At 9:00 a.m. the group will reconvene in an open session to
review and discuss key points from the Independent Assessment of Health
Care Delivery Systems and Management Processes of the Department of
Veterans Affairs, which was submitted to Congress and published in the
Federal Register in September 2015 and also discuss the Future State of
VA Community Care. No time will be allocated for receiving oral
presentations from the public. However, members of the public may
submit written statements for review by the Committee to Barbara
Hyduke, Department of Veterans Affairs, Office of Patient Care Services
(10P4), Veterans Health Administration, 810 Vermont Avenue NW.,
Washington, DC 20420, or by email at [email protected].
Because the meeting is being held in a VA Medical Center, a photo
I.D. may be requested at the entrance as a part of the clearance
process. Therefore, you should plan to arrive 15 minutes before the
meeting begins to allow time for this. Any member of the public wishing
to attend the meeting or seeking additional information should contact
Ms. Hyduke at (202) 461-7800 or by email.
Dated: October 29, 2015.
Rebecca Schiller,
