SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: [FR Doc. 2023–15977 Filed 7–27–23; 8:45 am] Authority BILLING CODE 4810–AL–P Chapters 73 and 74 of 38 U.S.C. and 38 U.S.C. 303 authorize the Secretary to regulate the professional activities of VA health care professions to make certain that VA’s health care system provides safe and effective health care by qualified health care professionals to ensure the well-being of those Veterans who have borne the battle. On November 12, 2020, VA published an interim final rule confirming that VA health care professionals may practice their health care profession consistent with the scope and requirements of their VA employment, notwithstanding any State license, registration, certification, or other requirements that unduly interfere with their practice. 38 CFR 17.419; 85 FR 71838. Specifically, this rulemaking confirmed VA’s current practice of allowing VA health care professionals to deliver health care services in a State other than the health care professional’s State of licensure, registration, certification, or other State requirement, thereby enhancing beneficiaries’ access to critical VA health care services. The rulemaking also confirmed VA’s authority to establish national standards of practice for its health care professionals that would standardize a health care professional’s practice in all VA medical facilities. The rulemaking explained that a national standard of practice describes the tasks and duties that a VA health care professional practicing in the health care profession may perform and may be permitted to undertake. Having a national standard of practice means that individuals from the same VA health care profession may provide the same type of tasks and duties regardless of the VA medical facility where they are located or the State license, registration, certification, or other State requirement they hold. We emphasized DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS Notice of Request for Information on the Department of Veterans Affairs Creative Arts Therapists (Dance/ Movement) Standard of Practice AGENCY: Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). ACTION: Request for information. Dance/Movement Therapists use psychotherapeutic movement to promote emotional, social, cognitive, spiritual and physical integration of the individual for the purpose of improving health and well-being. VA is requesting information to assist in developing a national standard of practice for VA Creative Arts Therapists (Dance/ Movement). VA seeks comments on various topics to help inform VA’s development of this national standard of practice. DATES: Comments must be received on or before September 26, 2023. ADDRESSES: Comments must be submitted through www.regulations.gov. Except as provided below, comments received before the close of the comment period will be available at www.regulations.gov for public viewing, inspection, or copying, including any personally identifiable or confidential business information that is included in a comment. We post the comments received before the close of the comment period on the following website as soon as possible after they have been received: https:// www.regulations.gov.

The rulemaking explicitly did not create any such national standards and directed that all national standards of practice would be subsequently created via policy. Need for National Standards of Practice As the Nation’s largest integrated health care system, it is critical that VA develops national standards of practice to ensure beneficiaries receive the same high-quality care regardless of where they enter the system and to ensure that VA health care professionals can efficiently meet the needs of beneficiaries when practicing within the scope of their VA employment. National standards are designed to increase beneficiaries’ access to safe and effective health care, thereby improving health outcomes. The importance of this initiative has been underscored by the Coronavirus Disease 2019 pandemic. With an increased need for mobility in our workforce, including through VA’s Disaster Emergency Medical Personnel System, creating a uniform standard of practice better supports VA health care professionals who already frequently practice across State lines. In addition, the development of national standards of practice aligns with VA’s long-term deployment of a new electronic health record (EHR). National standards of practice are critical for optimal EHR implementation to enable the specific roles for each health care profession in EHR to be consistent across the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) and to support increased interoperability between VA and the Department of Defense (DoD). DoD has historically standardized practice for certain health care professionals, and VHA closely partnered with DoD to learn from their experience. Process To Develop National Standards of Practice Consistent with 38 CFR 17.419, VA is developing national standards of practice via policy. There will be one overarching national standard of practice directive that will generally describe VHA’s policy and have each individual national standard of practice as an appendix to the directive. The directive and all appendices will be E:\FR\FM\28JYN1.SGM 28JYN1
