From fiscal year 1990 to fiscal year 1994, malpractice claims against VA medical centers have steadily increased, from 678 to 978, with payments made to claimants totaling more than $200 million. In 1992, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) entered into an agreement with the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology (AFIP) to analyze trends in VA malpractice claims. VA's quality assurance staff, however, are making only limited use of the information being developed by AFIP. Although malpractice claim information is available from the Defense Department, it is not comparable to the malpractice data that VA collects. The main reason for the lack of comparability is the absence of a standard data collection format. Nonetheless, GAO found that DOD information may be useful to VA to draw comparisons in areas in which malpractice claims are being generated, such as incidents related to surgery, diagnosis, and medication.
