VA is speeding up community care scheduling for eligible Veterans. The new External Provider Scheduling is live at every VA facility, allowing staff to see providers’ calendars and book appointments faster. VA can use that information to book appointments that fit a Veterans’ schedule. The tool can boost scheduling from just a handful of appointments a day to as many as 25. 27,000 providers in 78 specialties are already part of the program, with more expected to join this year.
