Abstract: The legal authority for this
data collection is found under 38 U.S.C.,
part I, chapter 5, section 527,
authorizing the collection of data that
will allow measurement and evaluation
of the Department of Veterans Affairs
Programs, the goal of which is improved
health care for Veterans. Further,
pursuant to Section 122 of the MISSION
Act of 2018, the VHA Office of
Community Care (OCC) will use this
data collection to improve its training
program and report to Congress
regarding the training program’s
effectiveness.
Section 122 of the MISSION Act of
2018 requires VA to develop and
conduct a training program for VA
employees and contractors on how to
administer non-Department health care
programs, reimbursement for nonDepartment emergency room care, and
the management of prescriptions for
opioids, as established under section
131. It also requires the VA to evaluate
and report on the program annually. As
part of this effort, the VHA OCC has
developed a survey to assess its
eLearning training modules with
Patient-Centered Community Care (PC3)
and Community Care Network
contractors. The purpose of the survey
is to evaluate and report the
effectiveness of this training program for
contractors. The results of the survey
will allow OCC to refine and improve
the various training modalities and
associated materials for the most
effective training program and provide
an annual report to Congress.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number. The Federal Register
