Book Description
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Department of Veterans Affairs' (VA) management of its major construction program, focusing on whether VA: (1) uses reasonable methods to identify construction needs and set funding priorities; (2) construction projects exceed program needs; and (3) uses sound project cost estimates for construction funding. GAO found that: (1) VA uses reasonable methods to identify needed construction and renovation projects and set funding priorities, but it does not consider veterans' income and insurance coverage, or lower-cost alternatives such as use of state and community resources and joint ventures with the Department of Defense (DOD); (2) a universal health care system could reduce the demand for VA inpatient care and create excess hospital capacity, which could be converted to nursing home beds at a lower cost than new construction; (3) VA construction projects often exceed program needs because of VA overestimates, excess space, or numerous costly design changes; (4) VA nursing home construction costs are higher than private-sector costs because VA adapts the facilities' designs to fit on medical center grounds and designs the facilities to meet hospital criteria rather than nursing home criteria; and (5) appropriating construction funds for projects before design completion can lead to unnecessary spending or insufficient funding.
