VA AND DOD HEALTH CARE: Opportunities to Maximize Resource Sharing Remain : GAO , March , 2006
From the report: "VA and DOD are making progress in implementing two programs required by legislation in December 2002 to encourage health care resource sharing and collaboration—JIF and DSS. While JIF projects experienced challenges because of delays resulting from the initial absence of funding mechanisms and, in some cases, the need for additional acquisition and construction approvals, as of December 2005, 7 of 11 selected 2004 projects were operational. The DSS program also experienced challenges as some sites reported difficulty putting together project submission packages, noting confusion over the timelines and approval process as well as frustration with the amount of paperwork and rework required."
