Yes, they are having problems...that's how I know about them. My wife works to resolve those issues.
You didn't have them because your wife hand-walked her own care. (Most do to some extent) but it's not that way for all... and that is why there are some having issues.
I wouldn't have thought it to be an issue... until I heard from my wife about it all. The issues with networking hospitals and doctors and departments is real. The number of databases are in the billions of just one hospital. Then linking hospitals together like the VA?
Now you are talking insanity...it's possible to handle...but it's very very difficult and people argue so much over the littlest things that it's coordination is not easy.
Remember the nozzles for rocket engines?
They argued so hard about the pattern of holes for the proper mixing of gasses that the rocket engines almost didn't get made.
Internal politics today in any workplace are much worse. We can't get a man on Mars because of it...not any other reason.
You don't know ,the va didn't allow until trump outsourced care meaning I can take my records to the doctor of choice .
Perfect ,probably not.I have seen,my military health records from my initial oath,they medical review to retirement ,its digitized and also paper .yearly physicals I carried these as all were kept in wpb the battalion hq,each battalion does this.active duty as well .somehow ,the va can't ,each post or base will share a main hospital with a few troop medical clinic .
A soldier deploys,moves he carries his medical record and its digital acessable via the human resource o it of ft.Knox.
I had to review my records and got emails of its it update ,new nco rating ,orders,school records added,so I checked.
The active army ,guard and reserve are and other branches larger then the va.I believe the other branches also do that .pay is also like that only one dfas pays all ,records of promotion and also status used through deer.when I retired my insurance was cancelled and I didn't have to tell tricare,deers was updated by the state admin office using dfas.
Perfect ,no.
But if the active can do that ,why can't the va?I have read every medical issue i had from country ,I personally ensured asthma was inputted there and turned in,my sick call skip with diagnosis ,long before the burn pit .so i can claim .
I know about politics ,I do more then just read meters ,mail at times.offices at city hall won't often send mail or communicate to each other well.
Try fixing bad water or electric meters and fighting the proper dept ,my boss has,can't read it,no one gets paid .taxes really don't find my job or any,its the utilities.they fund it until the fiscal year is settled and then payments made to keep the utilities are met .
My wife has her ob gym with uf miami,her internal medicine as well and her shoulder surgery with steward medical group ,and also her surgery for ovaries done at Cleveland clinic .
Each hospital in the va has regions,in in,the Riviera one,as that as outreaches to my county ,divide is just north ,viera takes that .one hospital can't in the va,handle records for 10 or more outreaches plus its own internally ?
The Riviera hospital is bigger then my cleveland clinic locally but again Cleveland can and does run outreaches ,offices ,slept center ,the mental health ,etc ,its not small .
Perfect no,but not like that .
