Barrett Opening Remarks At VA Subcommittee Hearing in Grand Ledge

Published | Video Starts at 05:53

VA has been piloting the technology known as the External Provider Scheduling System, or EPS for short. This scheduling system eliminates a large portion of the time and labor intensive aspects of community care scheduling. By giving VA schedulers direct access to community providers appointment availability, they can see in real time the audiology clinic down the street what their availability is and how they can sync a veteran's availability for an appointment. (05:53–06:00)
