Readers will find an analysis of how VHA facility officials respond to adverse-action information from the National Practitioner Data Bank. The text also looks at how these facilities follow specific policies regarding practitioner conduct and oversight. This resource is designed for those studying military and veteran issues, healthcare administration, or government policy within the Veterans Health Administration.
