am requesting a graph showing cost savings and decrease waiting time on diagnostic cd/image delivery to the choice provider. The cost of redoing ct scans, x-ray and mri are too costly compared to the referring facility sending diagnostic that are already completed by FedEX to the TPA Choice. Problem:  Delayed cd/images to Choice providers d/t  prolonged wait time for provider’s contact information available for CM to mail  cd/image to provider’s address noted in Choice portal.  This delay has cause rescheduling of appointments d/t waiting for cd/images to arrive for evaluation. I’m proposing a system with Choice to expedite delivery of image/cd to Choice for continuity of care for the Veteran. Plan of Action:  Schedule a meeting with the Embedded Team, Urology (Dr. Crotty) to discuss implementation of a system for quicker image/cd delivery to avoid delay in care.  Details:  Purposed to Choice to designate a team/individual to received image/cd from VA via Fedex, and once received to link with appropriate referral and Veteran information to mail to Choice provider before appointment time. Desired outcomes:  Decreased waiting time for Veteran care, and Choice providers have immediate access to appropriately evaluate/treat Veteran’s  medical condition. In conclusion, this would not only prevent delay care, but also increase patient satisfaction with VA and with the Choice program.  I spoke with Glenda and she stated full agreement with this proposal.
