The Veterans Administration's (VA) Department of Medicine and Surgery, the largest of the civilian federal health care systems, is under continuous White House, congressional, and public pressure to provide greater accountability and increased cost-effectiveness for its $5 billion-plus annual budget. Responding to these pressures, the VA is evaluating in ten of its 172 medical centers a new system of resource allocation and financial management known as a multilevel care system. This is a major VA intiative with highly important implications for both the VA and the private health care sector.
