Rep. Jen Kiggans has introduced bipartisan legislation to implement a cloud-based IT management system for the Department of Veterans Affairs to address severe inventory mismanagement issues. The $50 million initiative aims to pilot the system at one facility within three years before possibly expanding it across the entire Veterans Health Administration. Recent reports highlighted significant losses of medical devices, which underscored the flaws in the existing inventory management system, prompting action from lawmakers to ensure efficiency and prevent waste.
The bipartisan bill, introduced by Rep. Jen Kiggans and co-sponsored by Rep. Jimmy Panetta, aims to enhance VA's medical device inventory management through a cloud-based system.
Millions in medical equipment have gone missing from VA facilities, indicating the urgent need for better inventory management and accountability within the Veterans Health Administration.
