In this episode of Inside Oversight, Nicole Maxey, a nurse consultant with the Office of Healthcare Inspections, discusses the VA OIG’s evaluation of the transition of clinical care for service members with opioid use disorder from the Department of Defense to the Veterans Health Administration. Nicole describes deficiencies in documenting patients’ opioid use disorder, as well as the barriers faced by healthcare providers accessing records, during the transition.
“We want to make sure that all providers are aware of [opioid use disorder] to ensure that this vulnerable veteran population gets the care they need. Even if we prevent one death, this report will have reached the people we really wanted it to.” – Nicole Maxey
