Highlights
The methodology the Veterans Administration (VA) used to determine the bed sizes of the eight hospitals VA plans to build over the next several years will be examined as part of an evaluation of the process VA uses to determine the bed size of new and replacement hospitals. The computer model to be used in the review is similar to the one used in a review of the need for a new naval hospital in San Diego, California. As a result of this review, the Department of Defense is now generally required to use this model in determining hospital size.
