520    The Veterans Access, Choice, and Accountability Act of 
       2014 addressed the need for access to timely, high-quality
       health care for veterans. Section 201 of the legislation 
       called for an independent assessment of various aspects of
       veterans' health care. The RAND Corporation was tasked 
       with an assessment of the Department of Veterans Affairs 
       (VA's) current and projected health care capabilities and 
       resources. An examination of data from a variety of 
       sources, along with a survey of VA medical facility 
       leaders, revealed the breadth and depth of VA resources 
       and capabilities: fiscal resources, workforce and human 
       resources, physical infrastructure, interorganizational 
       relationships, and information resources. The assessment 
       identified barriers to the effective use of these 
       resources and capabilities. Analysis of data on access to 
       VA care and the quality of that care showed that almost 
       all veterans live within 40 miles of a VA health facility,
       but fewer have access to VA specialty care. Veterans 
       usually receive care within 14 days of their desired 
       appointment date, but wait times vary considerably across 
       VA facilities. VA has long played a national leadership 
       role in measuring the quality of health care. The 
       assessment showed that VA health care quality was as good 
       or better on most measures compared with other health 
       systems, but quality performance lagged at some VA 
       facilities. VA will require more resources and 
       capabilities to meet a projected increase in veterans' 
       demand for VA care over the next five years. Options for 
       increasing capacity include accelerated hiring, full nurse
       practice authority, and expanded use of telehealth.
